Report: Global command and control room/PSAP market to reach $7B by 2019

The global market for command and control room technologies and services is projected to exceed $7 billion by 2019, according to a recently published report from IHS.

Alex Richardson, analyst for critical communications at IHS, said that the market has become much more dynamic with changing legislation and initiatives such as Next Generation 911 and FirstNet, which has afforded a tremendous opportunity to suppliers that can enhance current technology platforms.

"Each major region has unique trends with regard to command and control, a few of which stand out among the major findings. Across public safety, transportation, and utilities is an increasing interest in analytical applications and data analysis. IHS has observed a number of tenders surrounding CAD solutions for instance, where law enforcement agencies have desired a wider range of data inputs and applications. A second trend, in more mature markets, is a movement toward service-oriented tenders due to the desire to optimize current technologies. As such, services have become a substantial part of the market in these regions," wrote Richardson in a research note.
