Public Safety LTE: A $2 Billion Opportunity for Mobile Network Operators (MNOs)

Friday 29 March 2013, Amsterdam

According to a recent report service revenues for public safety users over commercial MNO LTE networks will reach $2 Billion by the end of 2017. While a number of public safety agencies in the U.S and the Middle East regions have opted to deploy their own private LTE networks, budgetary and spectrum issues in many localities may compel public safety agencies to rely on commercial LTE network deployments. 

The “Public Safety LTE & Mobile Broadband Market: 2012 – 2017” report presents an in-depth assessment of the global public safety LTE market, besides considering the wider LMR and mobile broadband industries. In addition to covering the business case, the challenges, spectrum allocation strategies, the industry‘s roadmap, deployment case studies, vendor strategies, and the application ecosystem for public safety LTE, the report also presents comprehensive forecasts for mobile broadband, LMR and public safety LTE subscriptions from 2011 till 2017, from both private and commercial networks.

Also covered are public safety LTE service revenues as well as device and infrastructure (eNodeB base stations) shipment and associated revenue forecasts. The report comes with an associated XLS datasheet covering quantitative data from all figures presented within the report, as well as a list and associated details of 26 global private public safety LTE network deployments.
