Abstract

Ususret sve većim potrebama globalnog tržišta za razvojem tehnologije bežičnog povezivanja sa velikim brzinama prijenosa podataka, pojavljuju se tehnologije satelitskog i 5G mrežnog povezivanja koje zadovoljavaju kriterije velike brzine prijenosa podataka i pružanja mogućnosti internetske veze na područjima slabije mrežne povezivosti i pristupa signalu. Valja napomenuti kako je 5G mrežni signal očekivano nastavio razvoj na temelju generacija prethodnih tehnologija, ali pravu revoluciju u satelitskom povezivanju učinio je SpaceX sa projektom Starlink koji zbog sve veće pristupačnosti potrošačima polako postaje sinonim za satelitski internet. Kroz diplomski rad istražena je povijest razvoja 5G i satelitskog interneta, ali jasno prikazan teorijski okvir načina korištenja i povezivanja te gospodarskih učinaka navedenih tehnologija na globalnu ekonomiju. Osvrt na 5G i Starlink satelitski internet je detaljnije analiziran iz perspektive publikacija Europske Komisije o njihovom planu razvoja te implementacije istih u nacionalnom planu Republike Hrvatske. Istraživački dio rada temelji se na analizi anketnog upitnika u kojem se provjerava koliko ispitanici sa područja Republike Hrvatske poznaju i misle o pojmovima 5G i Starlink satelitskog interneta te potrošačke preferencije prilikom odabira mrežnog operatora. Iako određeni dio ispitanika već i koristi navedene tehnologije, još uvijek je izražena neutralnost po pitanju 5G i Starlink mreže što je jasan znak kako je potrebno uložiti veće napore i edukacije u njihovo objašnjavanje i demistifikaciju. Uz edukacijski dio o objašnjavanju pojmova, dio rada posvećen je i analizi infrastrukture te financijske isplativosti korištenja između Starlink satelitskog i 5G interneta.

Abstract (english)

In the face of all the greater needs of the global market for the development of wireless connection technology with high data transfer rates, satellite and 5G network connection technologies are emerging that meet the criteria of high data transfer rates and provide the possibility of an Internet connection in areas with weaker network connectivity and signal access. It should be noted that the 5G network signal expectedly continued its development based on the generation of previous technologies, but the real revolution in satellite connectivity was made by SpaceX with the Starlink project which, due to its increasing accessibility to consumers, is slowly becoming synonymous for satellite Internet. The history of the development of 5G and satellite Internet was investigated through the thesis, including the theoretical framework of the way of usage and connection with the economic effects of the mentioned technologies on the global economy. The overview of 5G and Starlink satellite Internet is analyzed in more detail from the perspective of the European Commission's publication on their development plan and through the implementation in the national plan of the Republic of Croatia. The research part of the work is based on the analysis of a questionnaire in which it is checked how much respondents from the Republic of Croatia know and think about the concepts of 5G and Starlink satellite Internet and their preferences when choosing a network operator. Although a certain part of the respondents already uses the mentioned technologies, neutrality is still expressed regarding the 5G and Starlink network, which is a clear sign that greater efforts and education are needed to explain and demystify them. In addition to the educational part on explaining terms, part of the work is also devoted to the analysis of the infrastructure and the financial profitability of using Starlink satellite and 5G Internet.
