The Global Market for TETRA Terminals is Projected to Reach 1.0 Million Units by 2022

Transition from Analog to Digital Radio & the Need for Secure Communications to Drive the TETRA Terminals Market, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

GIA launches comprehensive analysis of industry segments, trends, growth drivers, market share, size and demand forecasts on the global TETRA Terminals market. The global market for TETRA Terminals is projected to reach 1.0 million units by 2022, driven by interoperability, need for secure communications, transition from analog to digital radio, establishment of emergency response teams, and growing applications in public safety and commercial verticals.

Mission Critical Communications refer to networks intended for ensuring robust, secure and failsafe data and voice based communication for public safety teams, as well as supporting business critical infrastructure for monitoring field worker safety, productivity enhancement, and sustaining business continuity in the event of unanticipated disruptions. Transmission failures and illegal unauthorised interceptions of voice and data communications pose risk to the operations of organizations responsible for public safety and security (PSS) during mission critical scenarios. Similarly, a breakdown of communications networks may undermine personnel or public safety in certain businesses. The poor resilience of public cellular networks makes a compelling case for the development of professional radio networks (PRN) or private mobile radios (PMRs) for mission critical users. Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) represents the modern standard for Public Access Mobile Radio (PAMR) as well as digital Private Mobile Radio (PMR). TETRA was developed in the year 1995 by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) as a standard for critical data and voice mobile communications, similar to GSM in cellular services.

Over the last two decades, TETRA has gained prominence as a secure and reliable professional mobile radio communications technology for public safety agencies and other mission critical users, as a result of which TETRA accounts for almost one-fourth of the global digital private mobile radio market. The TETRA market is poised to expand as the large installed base of analog land mobile radio users would shift to digital PMR across the globe. Regulators are encouraging this shift from analog PMR to spectrally efficient, standards-compliant, data-friendly, and feature-rich digital PMR, and a growing number of manufacturers are withdrawing support for their earlier analog PMR products. The markets for TETRA infrastructure and systems integration is expanding steadily, in line with growing realization of dependable and secure critical communications with desired performance levels for business critical and mission critical users through TETRA. The intrinsic safety of ATEX radios in potentially explosive environments is driving investment into TETRA. The transport sector comprising most airports, light rails, mass transit systems, and metros, represents a key market for TETRA infrastructure and systems integration, owing to the high resilience and unique functionalities provided by TETRA in demanding environments. Debunking the notion that TETRA is inappropriate for low-density areas, utilities are making use of large unit volumes of TETRA terminals as TETRA delivers unmatched secure and concurrent voice and data capabilities, enabling extra protection for lone workers as well as remote control of major assets through telemetry and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) applications.

As stated by the new market research report on TETRA Terminals, Europe represents the largest market worldwide, with Germany implementing the world’s largest nationwide network for TETRA. Shipments of TETRA terminals to Europe are growing at a fast pace, with TETRA being the preferred technology for mission critical communications network rollouts owing to the superior functionality and maturity of TETRA infrastructure and solutions. The success of TETRA in Europe is fuelling the expansion of the market in other regions of the world, particularly in the light of the growing demand for ATEX and other devices with covert capabilities in public safety and security sectors. Trailing a CAGR of 8.7% over the analysis period, the Middle East & Africa ranks as the fastest growing market.
