Technavio Updates on the Satellite Broadband Communication in Public Safety Market

Technavio reported that the global satellite broadband communication in public safety market is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 9 percent during the forecast period.

This research report titled 'Global Satellite Broadband Communication in Public Safety Market 2016-2020' provides an in-depth analysis of the market in terms of revenue and emerging market trends. The report also presents the vendor landscape and a corresponding detailed analysis of the top six vendors in the global satellite broadband communication in the public safety market.

Satellite communication services serve as the backbone of successful relief operations. Humanitarian organizations are increasingly relying on mobile satellite services (MSS) for its robustness and expansive coverage as satellite technology facilitate timely and efficient response. Satellite terminals can be easily deployed anywhere independent of local infrastructure that provide global coverage and effective communication channels to help in relief operations during natural disasters and emergency situations.

Abhishek Sharma, a lead M2M and connected devices analyst at Technavio, says, "The adoption of satellite broadband communication in emerging countries such as China and India, the MEA region, and Brazil is increasing rapidly. The large geographical spread of these countries and access to very limited high-speed wireless network creates a huge demand for satellite broadband communications."

Based on end users, the report categorizes the global satellite broadband communication in public safety market into the following segments:

-Law enforcement agencies

-Public health organizations

-Emergency relief centers

Public health organizations

The global satellite broadband communication in public safety market based on public health organizations was valued at USD 280 million in 2015 and will reach USD 520.6 million by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 13.21 percent.

With the use of satellite broadband devices and services, hospitals and clinics can maintain direct two-way communications and data exchange during emergency situations. There is an increased use of satellite broadband services in the medical sector. More than 60 percent of the public authorities in Europe have adopted satellite-based services to improve their existing services.

Satellite broadband services can be helpful for civil protection and humanitarian purposes. These services support government agencies to analyze and manage the causal factors of disasters. They help to analyze the risks and plan and implement preventive measures. Satellite broadband services contribute to the restoration and improvement of facilities and livelihoods and living conditions of disaster-affected communities. Satellite broadband services also help in protecting the natural environment and wildlife.

Emergency relief centers

The global satellite broadband communication in public safety market based on emergency relief centers was valued at USD 109.9 million in 2015 and will reach USD 174.4 million by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 9.68 percent.

Maritime customers require public safety, global reach, uninterrupted services, and network security. Satellite technology provides robust communication services and products to cater to the unique requirements of government-centric maritime operations. It helps search and rescue agencies to detect abnormal operations in maritime and experience efficient traffic monitoring systems.

Satellite maritime applications enable secure and interoperable network communications for naval operations and critical marine operations such as rescue, administrative, and support functions. Satellite services can provide global coverage and an efficient communication channel to help in relief operations during emergency situations. It also detects oil spill incidents and transmits relevant information related to disaster to enable spontaneous search and rescue operations.

Law enforcement agencies

The global satellite broadband communication in public safety market based on law enforcement agencies was valued at USD 830.1 million in 2015 and will reach USD 1.185 billion by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 7.38 percent.

The global satellite broadband communication in public safety market from law enforcement organization will experience moderate growth as compared to the other end-users during the forecast period. Broadband communication facilitates the transmission of data and enhances interoperability between public safety departments. Broadband technology has been popular in commercial uses for providing reliable communications with greater capabilities.

"Big data analytics can further help defense agencies to predict and detect anti-national activities with the support of maritime intelligence and domain awareness. Advancements in satellite network can enhance the quality of data used for defense applications. The majority of the government agencies adopt satellite technology to provide defense services such as mission critical communication," says Abhishek.
