Despite successful Smart City initiatives around the world, there is a need for a business model innovations' in the implementation of 5G infrastructure widely in the future. Ongoing project, LuxTurrim5G, will solve critical challenges by developing and demonstrating concrete technical solutions for smart light pole based 5G infrastructure. This study focuses to identify and define business model innovation for the smart light pole based 5G infrastructure
