Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Public Safety LTE Market:
Post COVID-19, the global public safety LTEmarket sizeis estimated to be$ 14,865 million in 2021, and is projected to reach $ 70,441 million by 2028.
LTE networks for public safety serve a key role in mission-critical services, and its implementation as a communication standard is likely to increase over time. Public safety LTE marketgrowth will most likely be caused due to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, which has increased the need for an efficient and effective communication system from public safety authorities to protect the safety of those impacted by the pandemic.
Public safety LTE devices are being implemented in major cities to help aid local authorities. For instance, Chinese communication equipment manufacturer, Hytera Communications Corporation Limited collaborated with the city of Abu Dhabi and local police forces to help deploy their Hytera Public Warning System in Abu Dhabi’s mosques
Top impacting factors
Factors such as increase ininvestments to improve network connectivity and rise in network dependency for crucial public welfare &economical activities drive the market growth of public safety LTE market share. However, higher implementation and maintenance costs and limited spectrum availability restrain the growth of the market. Furthermore, increase in digitalization globally and advancements in the field of LTE network technology are expected to offer remunerative opportunities for the expansion of the public safety LTE market forecast.
Increase ininvestments to improve network connectivity
LTE networks are being adopted in developing nations at a rapid pace, as these nations continue to upgrade their current network infrastructure to increase communication speeds and provide better overall connectivity to their citizens and services. For instance, Swedish telecommunication equipment and services provider, Ericsson reported over $ 750 million dollars of revenue in the year 2020 from the sale of telecom equipment and services in Southeast Asia and Australia. This was a 21% increase from previous year in 2019.
Governments and private companies in developing nations are eager to ramp up the networking infrastructure of the country, and hence are investing more capital in LTE markets (being one of the more prominent and easier to deploy technology). The development of LTE infrastructure in such countries has paved the way for more advancedLTE-based applications to be adopted in the region. For instance, telecommunications giants such as Motorola are offering their LEX L11 Mission Critical LTE device and in-vehicle router-based solutions for law enforcement authorities; these devices rely on LTE networks for communication exchange and help the proper and secure flow of messages that are critical for the safety of the local public.
Higher implementation and maintenance costs
A significant hindrance to the adoption of public safety-LTE solutions and equipment is the higher implementation and maintenance expenses as compared to previous generation communications systems. Furthermore, developing LTE networks for public safety and security applications may require a dedicated frequency band (for security purposes), whichmay increase the costs of adopting and using LTE-based networks in the field of public safety.
Moreover, LTE-based communications modules can be costlier and complex to use when compared to previous handheld radio systems using local radio wave and microwave technologies for the exchange of information between two local parties. These factors further limit the market for the public safety-LTE market in the future.
