The Potential of Satellite Internet Technologies for Crisis Management During Urban Evacuation


This study examines the potential of satellite internet technologies to enhance crisis management in urban evacuation scenarios in Italy, with a specific focus on the Starlink system as a case study. In emergency situations, traditional mobile and WiFi networks often become inaccessible, significantly impairing timely communication and coordination.

Reliable connectivity is therefore imperative for effective rescue operations and public safety. This research analyzes how satellite-based internet can provide robust, uninterrupted connectivity even when conventional infrastructures fail. The study discusses operational advantages such as rapid deployment, broad coverage, and scalability during disasters, as well as key constraints including line-of-sight requirements, environmental sensitivity, and regulatory challenges.

Empirical findings from the deployment of Starlink during an actual urban evacuation event in Italy indicate that latency dropped below 200 ms and sustained upload/download speeds averaged approximately 50 Mbps-up to three times faster than ground networks in disrupted zones. By evaluating both benefits and limitations, this paper provides a comprehensive understanding of the integration of satellite internet services within Italian emergency response systems, aiming to improve the performance of urban evacuation strategies.

Detecting Co-Resident Attacks in 5G Clouds! Detecting co-resident attacks in 5G clouds involves identifying malicious activities where attackers share physical cloud resources with victims to steal data or disrupt services. Techniques like machine learning, behavioral analysis, and resource monitoring help detect unusual patterns, ensuring stronger security and privacy in 5G cloud environments. Detecting Co-Resident Attacks in 5G Clouds In a 5G cloud environment, many different users (including businesses and individuals) share the same physical infrastructure through virtualization technologies like Virtual Machines (VMs) and containers. Co-resident attacks occur when a malicious user manages to place their VM or container on the same physical server as a target. Once co-residency is achieved, attackers can exploit shared resources like CPU caches, memory buses, or network interfaces to gather sensitive information or launch denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Why are Co-Resident Attack...
 How Network Polarization Shapes Our Politics! Network polarization amplifies political divisions by clustering like-minded individuals into echo chambers, where opposing views are rarely encountered. This reinforces biases, reduces dialogue, and deepens ideological rifts. Social media algorithms further intensify this divide, shaping public opinion and influencing political behavior in increasingly polarized and fragmented societies. Network polarization refers to the phenomenon where social networks—both offline and online—become ideologically homogenous, clustering individuals with similar political beliefs together. This segregation leads to the formation of echo chambers , where people are primarily exposed to information that reinforces their existing views and are shielded from opposing perspectives. In political contexts, such polarization has profound consequences: Reinforcement of Biases : When individuals only interact with like-minded peers, their existing beliefs bec...
