Abstract
This new report analyzes the evolution of interoperable communications markets and technologies in the Homeland Security and Public Safety sectors.
$73B is the overall 2008-2012 cumulative interoperable communications market in the U.S. and EU, including systems, maintenance and upgrades, National Guard and cellular user fees (in the U.S.) With a combined U.S. and EU CAGR of 18.6% from 2008-2012, this market promises to become one of the fastest growing sectors in homeland security.
This growth reflects a combination of simultaneously maturing technologies, growing understanding of needs and advantages, a growing sense of urgency and a willingness by governments and private industry to allocate the funding.
Among other subjects, the new research report covers the following:
- 2008-2012 EU & US Services and Upgrades Market forecasts - (2008-2012 aggregate market exceeding $28B)
- 2008-2012 EU & US Systems Market Forecasts - (2008-2012 aggregate market exceeding $43B)
- Business Opportunities - The report outlines 15 distinct business opportunities, attractive to new as well as established players.
- Analysis and Forecast of Current and Evolving Technologies - With several new technologies maturing simultaneously, the report provides a roadmap to the transition from existing to upcoming solutions - what will drive them and how, and what might inhibit the transition.
