Overview:
The market for mission critical communications is rapidly evolving as developing technologies supply solutions necessary to meet emerging demand for improved voice, data, and machine-oriented communications. Industry verticals that manage critical infrastructure (such as utilities, ports, and transportation) also require enhanced communications to safeguard assets and optimize operations.
We see a few technologies playing a key role including 5G, Artificial Intelligence, and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions. In addition, there is a strong opportunity for network and system integration as otherwise disparate solutions converge in a manner in which operations management does not become onerous.
This report evaluates core public safety technology and solutions as well as emerging key areas for critical communications including 5G, AI, and IoT. This report also assesses emerging areas for mission critical communications including ultra-reliable low-latency communications for enterprise, industrial, and government sectors.
