Land Mobile Radio Market Analysis

Land mobile radio systems are stationary or portable voice communication systems comprising two-way radio transceivers with an audio transmitter and receiver. These systems are available for public safety organizations such as fire brigades and ambulances, law enforcement agencies (LEAs) such as police and state troopers, and other governmental bodies. They are assigned frequencies exclusively for their use. Commercial land mobile radio systems are available for business, industrial, and land transportation businesses, but most frequencies are shared with other users. Since the antennas used at very high frequency (VHF) or ultra-high frequency (UHF) bands are suitable for mounting on vehicles or handheld transceivers, land mobile radio systems use short wavelength channels. Transmitter power is usually limited to a few watts, providing a reliable working range of 4 to 32 km, depending on terrain. Repeaters installed on mountain peaks, hills, or tall buildings can increase the coverage area.

Land Mobile Radio Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rising Importance of Effective Critical Communications to Favor Market

Effective communication is critical for public safety responders who must keep connected at the control center while also acquiring situational information in real time when reacting to situations. To tackle critical communication operations, there are increasing advancements in LMR technology. Land mobile radio technology has evolved from traditional analog voice service (such as two-way communications) to complex systems with trunking and digital capabilities that enable features such as group calling, rapid voice call setup, high-quality audio, and guaranteed priority access to the end user. With an increase in crime, terrorism, and natural disasters, industries are required to adopt new technologies to enable rapid and effective real-time reactions. TETRA, one of the most widely used land mobile radio standards, has evolved and now it offers high spectrum efficiency and operates on a standardized spectrum. It also includes exceptional vital communication characteristics such as security, a rapid call start-up time, a feature set for voice calls, and high-speed data services. It is used in present and new market areas such as public safety and commercial applications. With increasing security threats and demands for greater efficiency, cross-agency coordination, and better information sharing, the development of efficient public safety communications networks has emerged as a top priority for organizations, thereby driving the global land mobile radio market growth.

Huge Applications of Land Mobile Radio

Land mobile radio systems refer to terrestrially based professional push-to-talk wireless communications systems. Land mobile radio systems typically consist of handheld portable radios, fixed base stations and repeaters, vehicle-mounted mobile radios, and network infrastructure. Land mobile radio systems are widely used for critical communications by public safety organizations such as police, firefighters, and other emergency response organizations. Apart from the public safety sector, land mobile radio systems are also commonly used in commercial enterprises in various industries such as industrial, utilities, transportation, security, logistics, military and various others.  Thus, huge applications of land mobile radio will drive the market growth.
