We are still at the early stage when it comes to the professional mobile radio (PMR) market; but the impact of the technology within Transportation, Retail, Mining and others industries, is already steadily visible.
For those who are unfamiliar, the professional mobile radio (PMR) provides
high bandwidth, a smooth migration path, and optimized radio coverage.
According to Technavio, the professional mobile radio (PMR) market in
North America is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 12% until 2020.
One can observe that, given the high availability of PMR and the
prospect of using LTE technology in critical communication processes, the
demand for devices that support LTE and PMR networks is rising among
organizations.
In fact, such devices can provide a competitive edge to
organizations as they can switch quickly between both technologies based on
requirement.
An occasion to recall that, Alcatel-Lucent (Nokia Networks) and the Airbus
Group (Airbus Defence and Space) offer Evercor (an integrated LTE 400 PMR
solution), which provides high bandwidth, a smooth migration path, and
optimized radio coverage.
