Abstract

5G networking is expected to induce more changes in the era of mobile communications, since new players will appear, including the new vertical industries, while the old ones will undertake new roles. 5G ESSENCE [1] addresses the paradigms of Edge Cloud computing and Small Cell as-a-Service (SCaaS) by fuelling the drivers and removing the barriers in the Small Cell (SC) market. In this paper, we investigate current market status in 5G networks and small cells, as well as we apply the business model canvas methodology for the 5G ESSENCE approach in order to explore the 5G business environment.
