Introduction
The “5G” is the fifth-generation digital cellular technology for the communication
purposes. 5G is the successor of the previous generation 4G technology which is currently very
much faster when compared with the 4G. The main advantage of the 5G technology over the 4G
technology is that, it is impressively faster in the comparison of network speed provided (Hu et
al. 2015). So, the 5G technology is capable of providing a very fast connectivity. In the aspects
of business requirements, the 5G can provide several of benefits towards the functionality of the
businesses. As it can provide a fast and reliable type of connectivity remote access can be gained
easily be the employees of the organization to the resources of the organization. In this way the
employees will be able to work remotely as per their requirement. In this way productivity of the
organization will be increased and in this way the businesses and the organizations will see
marginal profits.
In this paper a project plan will be produced for the for a major private hospital for the
incorporation of the 5G technology in their current organizational infrastructure. Currently this
hospital attracts approximately 3000,000 customers per year and the 5G technology has become
very much important for the organization as it is currently lacking a proper type of
communication in the organization. With the incorporation of the 5G technology this issue will
be resolved and the organization will be able to function in its full potential. Thus, creating a
proper type of project plan is very much important so that this project can be initiated and
executed perfectly. With the project plan a project report will be also provided in this paper
regarding proper execution of the current project. Thus, in this aspect by the incorporation of
proper project plan and the project report this project can be led towards the path of success.

Project Plan:
Justification Regarding 5G Technology Incorporation:
In the current aspects a major private hospital residing in a major capital city is wanting
to incorporate 5G technologies within their organization. Currently, the hospital needs to handle
approximately 300,000 customers per year and to handle this much number of customers a
proper infrastructure is very much important. But in the present circumstance the hospital is
lacking a proper type of communication technology for the communication purposes. This is a
quite important part for the organization and a proper type of communication technology need to
implemented. Here implementation of the 5G technology can solve this current problem. The
organization is also having the potentiality of getting more customers remotely. In these aspects
also, incorporation of the 5G technology will be very much useful for the organizations for
getting and servicing the customers remotely. Also, the organization is looking for implementing
a telehealth services for their customers. These type of telehealth services requires handling
capability of a large amount of traffic over the wireless network infrastructure. The traditional
type of wireless network infrastructure is not capable of handling these high amounts of traffic.
Here, implementation of the 5G technology can solve the problem as it is having the capability
of handling a high amount of traffic. Also, there are total 1000 employees in the organization
who need to access various of systems of the organization remotely. In this case also the 5G
technology implementation can be very much beneficial for the organization as the employees
will be able to access their required resources from the organization without any issues due to
high speed connectivity provided by the 5G technology. Thus, by considering all of this cases,
implementation 5G technology in the current organization is totally viable and justified in this
case. 5G technology will not only allow the organization to implement some new services, but

4INFORMATION SYSTEMS PROJECT MANAGEMENT
also it will help the organization to improve the current services provided by the organization.
So, incorporation of the 5G technology within the organization is quite important.
Summary of Expanding ICT Unit:
While implementing the 5G technology in the organization it is important to follow
proper procedure so that the 5G technology functions properly within the major private hospital.
Currently, the hospital is having its own ICT unit and the 5G technology need to be incorporated
with this existing ICT unit. In this case it is important to properly expand the ICT unit so that the
5G technology can be incorporated in a proper way and this incorporated technology functions
properly within the organization. Here the main task is expanding the existing ICT unit in a
proper way for the implementation of the 5G technology (Heldman 2018). Thus, here some
important steps need to be followed for the implementation of the 5G technology. Some
important principles need to be followed here while expanding the current ITC unit for the
implementation of 5G technology. In this aspect for expanding the current ITC unit in a proper
way it is very much important to engage the current culture and the workforce with the
expansion. In this way proper expansion of the ICT unit can be gained for the implementation of
he 5G technology. In this aspect it is also important to aware the organizational workforce about
the implementation of 5G technologies in the organization. Here, it is also important to set a plan
regarding how the current ICT infrastructure will be modified so that the 5G technologies can be
incorporated in a successful manner. This plan will guide step by step that how the current ICT
infrastructure will be modified. Also, an investment plan also needs to be produced regarding
how the ICT services will be modified for the implementation of 5G technologies. For the
incorporation of the 5G technology in the organization here proper identification will be also
done regarding which areas of the current ICT infrastructure need to be modified (Binder 2016).

Following that the whole ICT system will be tested against the modifications done. Here, if the
ICT unit functions properly with the modification then current setup will be remaining fix
otherwise the whole unit will be altered again. In the following scenario the whole ICT
infrastructure will be tested again after the incorporation of 5G technology. Here, if the ICT unit
functions properly and with that the 5G technology also functions properly, satisfying the needs
of the organization then this will be fixed as a permanent setup and the 5G technology will be
incorporated in the existing ITC unit of the organization.
Project Structure:
For proper completion of the project it is very much important to estimate an initial
quality, cost and the resource structure so that initial execution of the project can started. In the
following section these structures are discussed.
Quality Structure:
For this project centralized type of quality management will be done for the 5G
incorporation project. The centralized type of quality management has been chosen here so that
the high-level goal of the organization can be fulfilled (de Carvalho, Patah and de Souza Bido
2015). In this aspect the quality of the project will be managed by a corporate quality team.
Incorporation of the 5G technology with the existing ICT unit of the organization is quite a
complex task and some professionals are required for the execution of the project so that the
quality of the project can be maintained (Kerzner 2017). For this reason, the centralized type of
quality structure has been utilized here.
Cost Structure:
The cost structure for the project is described in the below section.

Justification:
In the above section the cost structure and the resource structure for the project has been
defined. In the cost structure it has been assessed that the equipment is costing 25% of the overall
cost of the project. In this aspect the equipment includes the important networking materials and
the network infrastructure which is important for successful completion of the project. Due to
this reason allotting the 25% of the total budget for the project equipment are totally viable in tis
context. Expert level employees will be utilized for this project so that this project can be
completed without any type of error and due to this reason, the cost for the employees is slightly
high compared with the normal scenarios. Apart from these the remaining costs are quite normal
and totally viable for this 5G technology implementation project.
Considering the resource structure, it is also suitable for the current project. In the
resource the most important parts are the peoples dealing with the project and they have been
focused mostly in this resource structure of the project. The successful completion of the project
is the most important part and most of it is currently dependent on the employees and the
engineers who are executing the project. For this project as a resource two types of engineers
have been selected who are the network engineer and the electrical engineer. While this project
will be executing there will be various of electrical circuits which need to be configured properly
for proper functionality of the entire system. Due to this fact the electrical engineers are
important and the network engineers are the most important here as the responsibility of the
whole network configuration is up to them. As proper designing and the implementation, both is
required in this case and for this reason both type of network engineers has been included in the
