North America Land Mobile Radio Market Analysis

The North America land mobile radio market size is predicted to surge during the forecast period due to the move toward digital mobile technology from analog. This technological shift results in the improvement of spectral efficiency and helps eliminate static, background noise, and voice distortion. Clear, reliable communications across service areas, and customized and cost-effective communications are a few of the major factors strengthening the North America land mobile radio market. In terms of application, the public safety and government application segment is expected to hold a major share of the market.

North America Land Mobile Radio Market Overview

A land mobile radio device is a person-to-person voice communication system consisting of two-way radio transceivers with an audio transmitter and receiver; transceivers can be stationary or portable. These systems are highly preferred by public safety organizations, wherein they are installed in ambulances, and fire brigade vehicles and offices; they are also used by law enforcement agencies (LEAs) such as state troopers and police, and other governmental entities. Land mobile radio devices have exclusively allocated frequencies for their use. Commercial land mobile radio systems are accessible for industrial and land transportation businesses. land mobile radio systems use channels in the very high frequency (VHF) or ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) bands since the antennas used at these short wavelengths are suitable for mounting on vehicles or handheld transceivers. The transmitter power of the radio is limited to a few watts, providing a consistent working range of 4–32 km, depending on terrain.

North America Land Mobile Radio Market Drivers and Opportunities

Growing Importance of Effective Critical Communications

Land mobile radio technology has evolved from traditional analog voice service with two-way communications to complex systems with trucking and digital capabilities that enable group calling, rapid voice call setup, high-quality audio, and guaranteed priority access to end users, among other features. With an upsurge in the cases of crime, terrorism, and natural disasters, various sectors increasingly seek new technologies to enable rapid and effective real-time reactions. Effective communications are critical for public safety responders who must stay connected to the control center while acquiring situational information in real-time when responding to various situations. Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA), the most widely used land mobile radio standard, has undergone a gradual evolution; as a result, it now offers high spectrum efficiency and operates on a standardized spectrum. TETRA also features exceptional vital communication characteristics such as security, a rapid call start-up time, a feature set for voice calls, and high-speed data services. Land mobile radio systems based on this standard are used in existing and emerging application areas such as the public safety and commercial sector. Furthermore, TETRA does not require broadband data. With the burgeoning 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.

Companies in the North America land mobile radio market engage in organic and inorganic growth strategies to enable critical radio communications. For instance, in August 2022, Motorola Solutions acquired Barrett Communications, a global provider of specialized radio communications; Barrett is also a trusted company by customers in border security, coast guard, civil security, and additional government and private sectors. Motorola Solutions and Barrett Communications joined forces to deliver vital and reliable communication solutions for organizations around the world, thereby helping them ensure safety and security in their facilities. Following this acquisition, Barrett brought Motorola a new portfolio of communications capabilities that extend beyond traditional land mobile radio. Thus, the growing importance of effective critical communications in various industries drives the land mobile radio market.

North America Land Mobile Radio Market Report Segmentation Analysis

The “North America land mobile radio market analysis” has been performed by considering the following segments: type, frequency, application, and geography.

• Based on type, the market is segmented into handheld and in-vehicle. The handheld segment held the largest share of the North America land mobile radio market in 2023, and it is expected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Hand-portable land mobile radio has gained traction owing to its small dimensions and easy-to-use applications. Handheld portable radios, also termed mobile radios or walkie-talkies, are increasingly being used in commercial, public, and industrial applications. The agriculture and construction sectors, and public safety and emergency service departments are a few of the major end users of portable land mobile radio devices. In August 2020, BK Technologies Corporation announced the launch of its new BKR 5000 portable radio. The product is designed to offer an array of programmable functionalities to help first responders get the most out of their tactical communications.

North America Land Mobile Radio Market Share Analysis, by Geography

The geographic scope of the North America land mobile radio market report is mainly divided into two countries: US and Canada.

The US held a larger share of the North America land mobile radio market in 2023. Major customers of land mobile radio devices in the US include government officials and their prime contractors seeking high-grade encryption solutions for military and commercial applications. Safety personnel from the military and commercial sectors across the US use different types of radio systems, including vehicle-mounted, handheld, and airborne radio systems operating at different frequencies for voice and data communication. The land mobile radio market in the US is undergoing modernization owing to developments in wideband technology, leading to a swift transition to wideband communication systems. The US Army chose Harris Corporation to supply a 2-channel vehicular radio system—the AN/VRC-118—which uses the wideband networking waveform developed by the Department of Defense of the US. In the commercial segment, large utility companies seeking wide-area and multi-state land mobile radio systems contribute to the growth of the overall land mobile radio market in the US.
