The global wireless broadband in public safety market size is expected to grow from an estimated value of USD 20.6 billion in 2021 to USD 69.6 billion by 2026, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 27.6% from 2021 to 2026. The wireless broadband in public safety market is driven by various factors, such as enhancement in public safety and availability of real-time information and big investments in wireless broadband to boost the growth of wireless broadband in public safety market across the globe during the forecast period. However, security threats and complexities can hinder the growth.

First Responders to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period
In emergencies, firefighters require high bandwidth and reliable connectivity as they communicate with each other and government organizations. With wireless broadband, fire departments can communicate with firefighters in real-time. They can send emails with still and video images that would enhance quick and speedy communication. Wireless broadband technologies help fire departments to respond faster and more accurately to help citizens. Public safety organizations use private mobile networks when executing public protection and disaster relief missions. Several public safety agencies and organizations from countries the US, the UK, Korea, and New Zealand are investing heavily in companies, such as Cisco Systems, Netflix, and Nokia Networks, to evolve from their existing networks to LTE-based solutions.

Law enforcement or the police department’s seamless communication network plays an important role in communicating with headquarters and also to command-and-control communications on site. The mobile network deployment in police cars provides a scalable IP communications infrastructure on-site that helps first responders to carry out their duties. With the help of wireless broadband network technologies, police officers can access maps, mug shots, records, and fingerprints on their smartphones. It offers continuous communication without any loss in network coverage. In North America, police departments utilize LTE networks for video surveillance and fast data transfer during emergencies.

Paramedics provide medical service out of the hospitals while moving critically ill patients from one facility to another. The goal of paramedics is to provide treatment in need for urgent medical care with the goal of satisfactorily treating the present conditions and arranging for the timely transfer of the patient to the next point of definitive care. Such arrangements can be made using wireless broadband technology. The wireless broadband technology reduces response time to connect with hospitals and ambulances to share information on a real-time basis. Wireless broadband networks also enable remote healthcare monitoring, which helps reduce medical service delivery costs.

Hardware segment to have highest market share during the forecast period
