Top1. Introduction
The 5G technology implementation will provide the key enabler for factories and industrial automation, supporting unified communication platforms needed for disruptive technologies growth (Attaran, 2021). It will empower new business models and overcome the shortcomings of current communication technologies as benchmark for extreme automation (Rao & Prasad, 2018). In the deployment considerations, the 5G network was planned to match the requirements of numerous vertical industry players and stakeholders with uncompromising attention to the public health safety and environmental ecosystem sustainability. The enhanced mobile broadband establishment, user-experienced data rate, peak data rate, traffic mobility, energy and spectrum efficiency all have high importance in comparison to connection density and latency in 5G deployment considerations. The low-latency communications and ultra-liable scenarios have enabled the safety critical applications to be realized in the ongoing 5G broadband democratization (Eluwole, Udoh, Ojo, Okoro, & Akinyoade, 2018). Those capabilities will facilitate high mobility uses in electronic healthcare(e-healthcare) computing, Internet of medical things (IoMT),excessive robotization, smart cities development and critical infrastructure management (Matthew et al., 2021). Higher connection density is a requirement for massive machine to machine (M2M) communication that encourages substantial number of devices in the network to transmit at low bit rate and with zero or very low mobility supported by intra-frequency handovers with zero interruption and zero failures (Chen et al., 2020). Interruptions and failures in 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) were common in earlier intra-frequency handovers, but the 5G low-cost radio equipment with long operational lifetime is indispensable in the new broadband implementation (Viering, Martikainen, Lobinger, & Wegmann, 2018).
The 5G technology evolution will necessitate improved connectivity between digital devices through cloud-based storage infrastructure, permitting several devices to connect and share services through the enterprise platforms. Wide-ranging computing experiences will come together through Internet of Things (IoT) enabled framework and virtual system architecture to open up a mobile paradigm shift that will support advanced digital networks connectivity of billions of devices and sensors for healthcare computing (Onyebuchi et al., 2022). In the current research, the 5G network technology was prioritized above all the subsisting network technologies, establishing its applications in healthcare system delivery. However, the 5G network technology installation poses undeniable public health concerns ranging from chemical polarization from the electromagnetic frequency radiations, dipolar moment urtication, immune toxicity, burning sensation and sleeping disorder among others (Mercola, 2020). The installation of 5G network antennas transmits enormous electromagnetic frequency waves which are directly engrossed by human body, the situation that had led to several researches on health effects of radiofrequency (RF) radiation being developed to provide insightful details regarding the RF weaponization (Jazuli S Kazaure, Matthew, Okafor, & Okey, 2021). On the other hand, there exist insufficient prove on the influences of 5G network technology on the identifiable circumstances of personalities subjected to an upper absorptions of RF energy due to several quantities of antennas that will be utilized to deliver the infrastructure which implied that the absorption of RF is not uniform (Shankarappa, 2017). According to Levitt et all., (2021), the surrounding non-ionizing electromagnetic fields (EMFs) produced in the modern societies during the synthesis of the 5G electromagnetic spectrum (carrier signals) for wireless technologies consumption have potentially transformed into permeating chemical and biological active environmental contaminants, hence the need to mount regulatory actions on the human exposures for environmental ecosystem sustainability(Levitt, Lai, & Manville, 2021b). Numerous publications advocated that there are substantial uncertainty on the 5G network deployment with prompt appearing substantiations of possibly injurious biological and chemical influences from radio frequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) experiences associated with the 5G network installations(Frank, 2021). To that effect, several governments have mounted regulations to enable devices equipped with 5G technology to utilize frequency ranges already shielded by RF energy exposure requirements (Bushberg et al., 2020).
