The 5G Deployment and Health Implication: Review

Osahenvemwen O. A., Okhaifoh J. E.

Abstract


The study presents the 5g deployment and health implication: a review. The study entails holistic research into various studies involving 5g deployment and health implication. The new parameters of 5g were highlighted; they include Millimeter Wave (mmWave), beam forming, massive MIMO and micro Cell Network. This range of frequency deployed is Non-Ionizing Radiation (NIR), which implies that it does not change the human body chemistry, but it can increase the thermal effect. The Millimeter waves are affected by tall buildings and foliage and it required a series of closely place base station, called micro-cell and with an increase in rooftop antennas. Based on different studies reviewed, it is observed that 5g does not cause immediate health damage to the human body. However, the thermal effect could be associated with millimetre-wave frequency radiation, especially with prolong calls and usage of mobile devices. Finally, the effect of millimetre-wave frequency radiation for 5g has not been ascertained.
