5G networks represent a breakthrough innovation because they are the first wireless technology whose standards are capable to satisfy a new set of performance requirements necessary to enable innovative services and applications. More than enhanced mobile broadband, this set of performances includes ultra-high reliability and low latency communication and massive machine-type communication.

Le reti 5G rappresentano un'innovazione rivoluzionaria perché costituiscono la prima tecnologia wireless i cui standard siano in grado di soddisfare una nuova serie di requisiti prestazionali necessari per consentire servizi e applicazioni innovative. Oltre che una banda larga mobile potenziata, questo insieme di prestazioni include una comunicazione ad altissima affidabilità e bassa latenza ed la gestione di un numero massivo di dispositivi connessi alla rete. In questo caso, la configurazione della rete 5G è il risultato di un'ottimizzazione di tutti i parametri in base alle diverse applicazioni. La Commissione Europea ha definito le linee guida per lo sviluppo di reti mobili di nuova generazione che hanno lo scopo di guidare la crescita economica europea che avranno un impatto diretto sulla società stessa. Il Ministero dello Sviluppo Economico italiano (MiSE) ha promosso diverse sperimentazioni pre-commerciali della tecnologia 5G, con l'obiettivo di individuare e cogliere i potenziali benefici socio-economici derivanti dalle sperimentazioni nei settori verticali maggiormente strategici. Questa tesi fornisce un framework analitico per la valutazione dei potenziali benefici socio-economici del 5G che possono essere ottenuti dall'implementazione dei nuovi modelli di business testati sul campo. Il modello proposto mappa le relazioni causali tra la tecnologia 5G e gli impatti sociali, identificando e quantificando gli scostamenti di performance tra gli attuali processi allo stato dell'arte e i nuovi processi abilitati dal 5G. Il framework è stato applicato e testato su diversi casi d'uso nei settori verticali di Sanità e Auto e Trasporti, che fanno parte delle sperimentazioni svolte nell'area milanese.

Abstract
5G networks represent a breakthrough innovation because they are the first wireless technology whose standards are capable to satisfy a new set of performance requirements necessary to enable innovative services and applications. More than enhanced mobile broadband, this set of performances includes ultra-high reliability and low latency communication and massive machine-type communication. In this case, the setup of the 5G network is the result of an optimisation of all the parameters according to each different application. European Commission defined the vision for the development of new generation mobile networks which are meant to drive Europe’s economic growth with a direct impact on the society itself. The Italian Ministry of Economic Development (MiSE) promoted several pre-commercial experimentations of 5G technology, aiming to identify and seize the potential socio-economic benefits arising from the trials in the most strategic vertical sectors of application. This thesis provides an analytical framework for the evaluation of the potential socio-economic benefits of 5G that can be unlocked by the roll out of the business applications tested in the trials. The proposed model maps the causal relationship between the wireless technology and the social impacts, by identifying and quantifying the gaps between current state-of-the-art processes and new 5G-enabled processes. The framework was applied and tested on different use cases in the Healthcare and Automotive vertical sectors, which are part of the trials that took place in the Milan area.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
