As a service to our customers we are providing this early version of the manuscript. The manuscript will undergo copyediting, typesetting, and review of the resulting proof before it is published in its final form. Please note that during the production process errors may be discovered which could affect the content, and all legal disclaimers that apply to the journal pertain. and social aspects that will affect the deployment and the rate of adoption of 5G networks by the general public. In this paper, a roadmapping activity identifying the key technological and socio-economic issues is performed, so as to help ensure a smooth transition from the legacy to future 5G networks. Based on the fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, a survey of pairwise comparisons has been conducted within the CHARISMA project by 5G technology and deployment experts, with several critical aspects identified and prioritized. The conclusions drawn are expected to be a valuable tool for decision and policy makers as well as for stakeholders. Assessment

Technological disruptions in services: lessons from tourism and hospitality

“…Predicted societal impacts on rural/urban integration, decentralization of work, reduced mobility needs, energy efficiencies, increased security, and, generally, enhanced life expectancy will be delivered through the development of service ecosystems that will be co-created between a range of different actors to deliver value for consumers (G.W. Report 2015; Neokosmidis et al, 2017). Recently highlighted international security issues with one major 5G supplier has already impacted the perceived trustworthiness of equipment leading to calls for more scrutiny in future network developments (eg., Cellan-Jones, 2019).…”

Factors Influencing Market Adoption and Evolution of NFV/SDN Cybersecurity Solutions. Evidence from SHIELD Project

“…However, AHP can be in some cases subjective and inaccurate, mainly due to its inability to adequately handle the inherent uncertainty and imprecision associated with the mapping of a decision-maker's perception to exact numbers. In this case, the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP), an extension/improvement of the AHP methodology has been proposed [11], [12], [13] as a means to address this uncertainty. More details about the method and the modelling steps could be found in [13].…”

Deploying a Novel 5G-Enabled Architecture on City Infrastructure for Ultra-High Definition and Immersive Media Production and Broadcasting

“…Finally, 5G enables migration of computing and storage resources closer to the users with the deployment of Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) nodes in order to reduce the latency and traffic aggregation required by many digital services typically used by the vertical media industry [8,9]. Accordingly, 5G will not only provide higher transmission rates and lower latency compared to its predecessors, but also enable customizable, sliceable, and flexible solutions for the currently stagnated telecom and vertical sectors [10,11,12,13]. Relative Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), e.g., latency, bandwidth, mobility, etc., shall also be considered and carefully measured to ensure required network performance for successful delivery of media services.…”
