“…Techno-economic assessment (TEA) is a key tool to help network operators and other telecommunication market stakeholders assess the suitability of proposed new technologies, business models, and policies [9]. The success of infrastructure sharing in practice is dependent on operators having adequate market incentives, therefore the techno-economic viability of any strategy is essential to understand.…”

There is a growing need to provide high-speed wireless broadband to deliver mobility for an increasing number of global Internet users. However, there are a variety of engineeringeconomic challenges associated with this endeavor. Therefore, an emerging zeitgeist of the modern telecommunications era is the concept of infrastructure sharing. While this approach has existed for many decades, there has recently been growing interest by both network operators and governments, who share the joint aspiration of reducing costs and increasing broadband coverage. In this article we firstly explore where infrastructure sharing can take place, how these strategies can be implemented in practice, and who are the key enablers. Secondly, we report on a technoeconomic viability assessment of rural 5G infrastructure sharing strategies, for four major approaches, which include Businessas-Usual (No Sharing), Passive Sharing, Active Sharing, and a Neutral Host Network (NHN). The findings suggest that any network sharing strategy has a higher Net Present Value (NPV) of between 20-90% compared the baseline strategy (No Sharing). In particular, a NHN approach can help reduce deployment costs by 10-50% compared with other strategies for providing rural wireless broadband.

“…Based on the literature, the telecommunications ecosystem is increasingly businessdriven and heavily dependent on trust, security, and privacy for the protection of users and data [23,24]. As also stated in [25], the success of a generation of wireless networks is, to some extent, dictated by an accurate techno-economic assessment, hence, by the analysis of correlations between business policies and strategic telecommunications decisions, including those related to the security of networks.…”

Following the COVID-19 outbreak, the health sector is undergoing a deep transformation that is increasingly pushing it towards the exploitation of technology, thus fostering the growth of digital health (eHealth). Cellular networks play a pivotal role in promoting the digitalization of healthcare, and researchers are banking on beyond fifth-generation (B5G) and sixth-generation (6G) technologies to reach the turning point, given that, according to forecasts, 5G will not be able to meet future expectations. Security is an aspect that definitely should not be overlooked for the success of eHealth to occur. This work aims to address the security issue from a poorly explored viewpoint, namely that of economics. In this paper, we first describe the main eHealth services, highlighting the key stakeholders involved. Then, we discuss how next-generation technologies could support these services to identify possible business relationships and, therefore, to realize an innovative business-oriented security analysis. A qualitative assessment of the impact of specific security breaches in diverse business conditions is provided. Moreover, we examine a case study in order to show the effects of security attacks in a definite scenario and discuss their impact on business dynamics.

“…The transition of industrial networks to Ethernet has given a noticeable increase in productivity and flexibility. At the same time, the approaches described in the concept of Industry 4.0 and IioT [1,2] assume that wired data transmission is based on one-, two-, and four-pair cables based on a twisted pair of the corresponding category. Advancements are being implemented that provide data transmission and power supply via one twisted pair (PoE -Power over Ether-net) with a maximum transmission power of up to 50 W at a distance of up to 1000 meters [1,2].…”

The objects of research reported here were cables based on twisted pairs of various designs. The issue of the emergence of additional losses of electromagnetic energy is related to structural and technological inhomogeneities at the technological stage of cable production. The influence of the working capacitance of the twisted pair on the energy losses in the cables has been substantiated. A methodology was proposed for the numerical calculation of the electric field under the condition of ellipticity of the structural elements of the twisted pair. That has made it possible to determine the distortion of the electric field and the effect of inhomogeneities on the working capacitance of a twisted pair of different designs. Specifically, it was shown that for shielded structures with continuous polymer insulation, the distortion of the electric field and the growth of the working capacitance are observed to a greater extent. The need to find technological solutions to reduce the effect of screen ellipticity on cable capacitance has been emphasized. The effectiveness of capacitance regulation in the presence of inhomogeneities has been confirmed, by using foamed insulation to reduce the loss of electromagnetic energy in the cable. The effect of reducing the working capacitance and increasing additional losses under the simultaneous influence of the ellipticity of the electrical insulation and the protective polymer shell has been established, which necessitates the technological process adjustment in the manufacture of twisted pair. An applied aspect of using the results is the possibility of improving the typical technological process of manufacturing twisted pairs to reduce additional losses of electromagnetic energy at the final technological stage of cable production. The adequacy of the numerical studies was confirmed by experimental dependences of the attenuation coefficient and additional energy losses of the unshielded cable in the frequency range up to 100 MHz
