Private LTE market size is set to exceed USD 27 billion by 2024
The private LTE market growth is attributed to the massive surge in connected devices that generate the need for secure and reliable communication between devices. To overcome network connectivity issues faced by the connected industrial systems, the private LTE networks play an important role. Another factor driving the market is the extensive deployment of public safety wireless networks that enable first responders to share information for situational awareness. The public safety agencies are embracing these networks to ensure a coordinated response, offer actionable data insights, and improve response time. Huge investments by the government agencies and global telecom operators in the LTE-A and 5G-ready networks that ensure better connectivity, low latency in the industrial control systems, and mission-critical services will drive the private LTE market growth.
As per the infrastructure type, EPC segment held a dominant private LTE market share amounting to around 40% in 2017. As mobile networks are becoming more complex with the introduction of LTE networks and multiple radio access technologies, the demand for EPC solution to manage network payload will increase over the forecast timeline. The eNode install base is projected to increase over 330,000 units by 2024. Increasing deployment of private LTE networks for public safety applications is expected to majorly influence the growing installations of eNode base stations over the forecast timeline. Major Players are Nokia, Samsung Motorola and Huawei
