Methodology for selection of telecommunication technology in smart applications and networks

Smart Networks and Smart Applications become an integral part of modern society. They offer new possibilities with efficiently provided services to end customers and by it further conceptual development of the entire population. Successful operation of Smart Network is closely related to the telecommunication infrastructure. Today, many technologies for telecommunications infrastructure are available. Implementation of objective methodology for the evaluation of individual telecommunication technology is therefore necessary. When evaluating technologies, it is possible to use the principles of conventional telecommunication infrastructures. However, it is needed to adjust qualitative criteria while considering the different requirements of Smart Networks and their Smart Applications. The proposal of the methodology, including the design and analysis of suitable qualitative criteria, the selection, and evaluation of individual communication technologies is the scope of this article.
