PMR: Key market research findings
- Increase in demand for devices supporting LTE and PMR networks
- Demand for TETRA in transportation sector
Technavio has released a new market research report on the PMR market in North America, which expected to grow at a CAGR of 12% between 2016 and 2020. Professional mobile radio or private mobile radio (PMR) is a sophisticated radio trunking service that enables two-way radio communication for mobile users to connect to PMR data networks and voice telephony. This market depends heavily on the emergence and adaptability of digital technologies in the communication sphere. Of late, the number of devices that support both LTE and PMR technologies are in high demand.
The new industry research report from Technavio discusses in detail the key drivers and trends responsible for the growth of this market and its sub-segments.
“LTE networks have gained traction in the commercial applications, where the consumers are opting for LTE-enabled devices. Owing to the high availability of PMR, coupled with the prospect of the use of LTE technology in critical communication processes, the demand for devices that support LTE and PMR networks is rising among organizations. For instance, Alcatel-Lucent and the Airbus Group offer Evercor (an integrated LTE 400 PMR solution), which provides high bandwidth, a smooth migration path, and optimized radio coverage.
The professional mobile radio market is witnessing a significant demand for TETRA in the transportation sector including railway stations, metros, bus stations, seaports, and airports. Transport operators prefer TETRA over other standards because it best meets their safety, security, and operational requirements. Moreover, it offers features such as simultaneous voice and data transfer, operation at the low end of UHF bands, easier integration with other systems, interoperability, flexibility in the choice of frequency bands, fast and consistent voice call set-up, and high-speed packet data services.
The leading vendors in the PMR market in North America include Airbus Defence and Space, Harris, Motorola Solutions, and the Thales Group. The market is becoming competitive with a large number of vendors entering the market. Vendors have started introducing market diversification strategy to enhance their product offerings and technical breadth in the market. Intense competition prevails in this market, which has pushed vendors to distinguish their product and service offerings through clear and unique value propositions to survive and succeed.
