The Global Market for Big Data Technologies and Services is Projected to Reach $60 Billion by 2022

The global market for Public Safety LTE is projected to reach US$3 billion by 2025, driven by the growing global momentum for managing disaster risk against the backdrop of climate change and the resulting increase in the number of extreme weather events and associated economic losses. Climate change aggravates severe weather events such as tornadoes and hurricanes and emergency response support system (ERSS), in this regard, play vital roles in reducing deaths and damage to property. Given that effective communication is key in managing emergency events, LTE is rising in popularity as an emerging wireless broadband technology that brings hitherto unthought-of improvements to public safety communications from spectrum availability, cost competiveness to reliability. Public safety LTE is defined as the use of LTE mobile broadband communication for the use of mission critical communications which were hitherto implemented on LMR and TETRA Networks. Currently, a large percentage of PS-LTE networks utilize the 700 MHz band, with few countries pilot testing LTE on lower bands such as the 400 MHz band. Higher bands are also used i.e. 1.4 GHz and 1.8 GHz in China, and 800 MHz, 1.8 GHz and 2.6 GHz in the UK. A growing number of governments worldwide are investing in the deployment of public-safety LTE radio access network. LTE radio access networks are touted to offer numerous benefits such as faster broadband speeds, robust coverage even during difficult network environment, easy gateway connectivity to LMR networks, superior voice quality, and LTE push-to-talk advantages.
