Axon's Connected Devices Strength Holds Firm: More Upside Ahead?

Axon Enterprise, Inc. AXON is benefiting from sustained strength in its Connected Devices segment. Rising popularity for its next-generation TASER 10 products, counter-drone equipment, virtual reality training services and fleet systems has been supporting the segment’s results.

The ongoing demand for TASER devices is the core component of the segment’s success. AXON continues to benefit from the rising popularity of its next-generation TASER 10 products, which began shipping in 2023. With upgraded features such as a bi-directional communications facility and a point-of-view camera module option, this body camera is experiencing strong orders, boosting the segment’s growth.

In 2025, revenues from the company’s TASER product line increased 21.8% year over year, driven by the higher volume of TASER 10 handles and cartridges. Revenues from Personal Sensors surged 25.3% in the same period, led by Axon Body 4. Also, revenues from Platform Solutions product line soared 72.5%, supported by counter-drone, virtual reality and fleet. This boosted the Connected Devices segment’s results, with revenues increasing 29.1% year over year to $1.58 billion.

With rising global security concerns, including increasing instances of terrorism and criminal activities, demand for advanced public safety technologies is expected to remain strong. These trends are likely to support the ongoing demand for Axon’s Connected Devices portfolio, positioning the segment well for sustained momentum in the quarters ahead.
