Requirement for Secure Communications Increasing Opportunities for Land Mobile Radio Systems Industry

Source: The Critical Communications Review | Gert Jan Wolf editor

Workplace land mobile radio systems (LMR) use is increasing. Strong competition from low cost digital technologies (e.g., NXDN, DMR, and dPMR) forces investment in Research and development and innovation

By 2017, it is expected that the world market for land mobile radio systems will achieve a value of $16.25 billion, according to a new report on companiesandmarkets.com. The global recession had limited impact on the industry, according to the LMR systems research report, and as economies recover it is expected that the digital radio trend will continue to increase.

Both public and private sector organisations need to retain secure wireless communication systems to safely and cost-effectively conduct their business activities, and can ill-afford the performance and productivity related losses associated with the removal of LMR technology. Systems are relatively cheap and basic but have numerous applications, from co-ordinating relief and rescue efforts to communicating with staff within a warehouse.

Land mobile radio networks are comprised of infrastructure components such as base stations, receivers and transmitters; network switches; and mobile/hand held two-way radios.

Growth in the land mobile radio systems market is being driven by advances in technology which have allowed for the development of reliable and easy to use equipment, particularly in terms of digital radio.

The LMR research report includes profiles of 40 industry participants, including Thales Communications Inc, Axell Wireless Ltd, Tait Radio Communications Electronics Ltd, DAMM Cellular Systems A/S, Smartlink Radio Networks Inc, Sepura Plc, EADS NV, EF Johnson Technologies Inc, Raytheon JPS Communications Inc, Motorola Inc, Harris Corporation, RELM Wireless Corporation, ICOM Inc, PowerTrunk Inc, MIDLand Radio Corporation and Kenwood USA Corporation.

The 392 page Land Mobile Radio report provides an in-depth analysis of the marketplace, incorporating historic and forecast data from 2003-2017. The LMR markets of the US, Canada, Asia-Pacific, Japan and Europe (including Germany, UK, and Rest of Europe) are considered, along with the competitive landscape, market drivers/barriers, trends, issues, and strategic activities of industry participants.
