Axon Gains From Strength in Connected Devices Unit: Can the Momentum Sustain?

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

The segment’s performance has also been augmented by higher TASER 10 handle and cartridge volume. In 2023, the company introduced its advanced body-worn camera, Axon Body 4. 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 TASER 10, while those from the Personal Sensors surged 25.3%, 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.

Growing instances of terrorism and criminal activities, with concerns related to the ever-increasing fraudulent activities, will augur well for Axon’s Connected Devices unit in the quarters ahead.
