 The Land Mobile Radio Market The North American Land Mobile Radio (LMR) market is expected to reach US$7.5 billion by 2010, according to a study recently published by VDC. This considerable growth is driven by recent U.S. Government communications grants to public safety organizations to help modernize their equipment so they will have interoperable solutions. There are several Canadian companies involved with LMR, including Lyrtech Inc. of Quebec City, a leader in digital signal processing (DSP) technologies. The company recently announced that its collaboration with Texas Instruments has resulted in the new Small Form Factor (SFF) Software-defined Radio (SDR) Evaluation Module, the SFF SDR Development Platform, and the SFF SCA Development Platform. Lyrtech launched the SFF SDR development platforms at the 2006 edition of the SDR Forum technical conference, an event that provides an international perspective on the current state of development of software-defined radio. Designed around the TMS320DM6446 system-on-chip (SoC) from Texas Instruments and Virtex-4 SX35 FPGA from Xilinx, the SFF SDR development platforms address the needs for highly portable SDR of the military, public safety, and commercial markets. The platforms are designed for low-power, compact, portable applications that closely resemble the architecture of portable radios and nano/femto base stations. VDC expects that public safety/military radio product category will have a CAGR of 11.3% during the 2005-2010 forecast period of this report. U.S. Government grants are the primary driver for this double-digit growth. Tim Gouldson, |
