Critical Communication Market Dynamics

Drivers  

• Increase In Penetration of Smartphones, Tablets, and Laptops in Critical Communication

Modern digital wireless handsets have to perform and function as a real communication hub that brings a wide range of smart features to the cellular industry. These include web browsing, e-mail, wireless PDA, voice memo, two-way paging, answering machines, and a Global Positioning System (GPS) in a single entity.

For instance,

• In November 2022, according to the blog of Airbus, it’s discussed that how mission-critical smartphones drove the critical communication market by addressing specific needs. These devices required mission-critical broadband, secure and rugged features, and long battery life. They integrated advanced communication functions, such as push-to-talk and push-to-video, which set them apart from ordinary consumer smartphones. The market saw increased demand for smartphones that could deliver reliable and secure communication for professionals in high-stakes environments. This shift highlighted the growing importance of specialized devices in critical communication scenarios

Protected Satellite Communication Solutions for Critical Communication

Satellite communication is a type of modern telecommunication where artificial satellites provide communication links between various points on earth. It plays an important role in satellite services for many sectors that provide various services to broadcasters, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), governments, the military, and others. The broadcasting industry is for business continuity and emergency management in various business sectors such as oil and gas, IoT, healthcare, government, maritime, mining, and others. Additionally, satellite communications are used for and in various commercial, governmental and military applications

For instance,

• In 2020, according to Geospatial Media and Communications, 3,372 operational satellites were circling the earth, out of which 1,832 satellites are used for communication services alone, 906 are used for earth observation, 350 are used for technology development and demonstration, 150 for navigation/GPS purposes, and rest are used for other purposes.

Opportunities

• Rise in Demand for Mission-Critical Communication Services (MCs) for Business

A Push to talk service developed for mission-critical standards would satisfy business-critical standards. Different levels of QoS (Quality of Service), which are higher than consumer services but not as high as those needed for mission-critical, can be offered to service business-critical opportunities. The industries that may benefit from business-critical communications include the financial sector (banking), media, and utility sectors. Services that require a specific QoS treatment may be identified based on the subscription or application.

For instance,

• In May 2024, Consort Digital, showcased its MCX ONE mission-critical ecosystem at Critical Communications World 2024, highlighting its potential to enhance network connectivity and flexibility across industries. The platform's integration of both narrowband and broadband technologies, along with versatile deployment options, presents a significant opportunity for advancing critical communication solutions. Additionally, MCX ONE's recognition as a finalist for the International Critical Communications Awards underscores its impact on the market.

Growing Prevalence for Public Safety and Essential Communications

Existing networks for public safety communications are mostly based on systems such as Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA), TETRAPOL, and Project 25. These systems are mainly designed to support voice services. However, public safety communication networks are challenged to expand their scope beyond their original functions toward more sophisticated devices and support new services, including packet data communications. Therefore, governments, public safety agencies, and research communities are continuously working together and making significant progress toward improving public safety communications capabilities. Next-generation mobile technologies are the enablers for meeting the new requirements of the public safety community. Public safety and commercial systems are typically designed and deployed to fulfill different needs and requirements, directly affecting the quality of service of communications. Public safety's unique and vital nature affects the technical decisions necessary to guarantee connectivity for everyone, anywhere and anytime.

For instance,

• In October 2021, the German public security network BOS digital radio network connected 1 million subscribers. This is an achievement as the trial operation for BOS virtual radio commenced in 2007, and the primary community segment went into prolonged trial operation in 2011. In the following year, the country police in Hamburg became capable of talking all through the entire country. With the mixing of closing community segments in 2016, the BOS virtual radio is subsequently in operation nationally.

Restraints/Challenges

• High Initial Costs of Setting Up Critical Communication Systems

The high initial costs associated with setting up critical communication systems represent a significant restraint for the North America critical communication market. Despite their numerous benefits, including enhanced quality control, increased efficiency, and reduced labor costs, the substantial upfront investment required for these systems can be a barrier for many companies, particularly Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) and those operating in emerging markets. The primary component of the high initial costs includes the expense of purchasing advanced machine vision hardware, such as high-resolution cameras, lenses, lighting, and sensors. In addition, sophisticated machine vision systems often require complex software for image processing and analysis, which further add to the cost. The integration of these systems into existing production lines may also necessitate significant modifications to equipment and infrastructure, leading to additional expenses.

For instance,

According to a blog published on IndMALL, industries faced a substantial initial investment when implementing machine vision systems. The costs included high-resolution cameras, advanced lighting, powerful processors, and specialized software. In addition, expenses extended to integrating the system into existing workflows and developing custom solutions for specific applications.

• Cyber Security and Privacy Threats in Critical Communication

Cybercrime/hacking and cybersecurity issues have increased by 600% during the pandemic across all sectors. Flaws in network or software security is the weakness that hackers exploit to perform unauthorized actions within a system.

According to the recent Maritime Cybersecurity Survey by Safety at Sea and BIMCO, in 12 months prior to February 2020, 31% of organizations fell victim to cyberattacks, an increase of 9% compared to 2019. On the other hand, in June 2022, hackers compromised accounts belonging to officials in Germany's Greens party, including ones used previously by Annalena Baerbock and Robert Habeck, who now serve as Minister for Foreign Affairs and Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action as per Center for Strategic and International Studies.

Since the initiative of digitizing and digital connectivity in the communication industry, cyber breaches have increased significantly. Now, hackers can easily hack the communication sector and gather information such as location information and other credentials. This is fundamentally due to weak and outdated systems used by consumers.

For instance,

Stormshield's focus on cybersecurity for critical communication systems highlights a key restraint in the market: the need for robust protection against cyber threats. Ensuring secure and resilient communication networks is crucial, as vulnerabilities can undermine the reliability and safety of critical services. This emphasis on cybersecurity reflects the ongoing challenge of balancing advanced functionality with strong security measures.

The growing cyber threats and hacking incidents in critical communication sectors due to weak infrastructure facilities and outdated systems pose a huge threat to the safety and security of the consumer requesting critical assistance. This never-ending cycle of cyber-attack scenarios can pose threats or weaken market growth.
