Path Loss is a gradual attenuation of the Global System for Mobile Telecommunication (GSM) signal when transmitted between the Base Transceiver Station (BTS) and Mobile Unit (MU). Network engineers use Path Loss in the designing and planning of their network signal. Path Loss models also help network engineers in optimizing their network signal for deployment. This research work considers the applicability of the Hata model in the suburban area of Adamawa State University in the Mubi North Local Government Area. The average root mean square error (RMSE) between the predicted and measured was obtained as 1.65 dB, which falls within the 6 dB for good signal propagation. The model of the area was optimized and can be used by the AIRTEL network for deployment in the study area in order to provide quality of service (QoS). The relationships between Path Loss and Temperature, Humidity, and Wind Speed were obtained as 0.044, 0.058, and 0.257, respectively. The results show a linear relationship between Path Loss and the weather parameters; hence, it does not exert any effect.

Today, the use of television as a tool in the work place, academic institutions, recreation facilities, homes, and sports viewing centers has become very common, it is estimated globally that people spend hours staring into a television monitor. This study aims to carry out an assessment on the ionizing radiation from the selected viewing centers in Mubi with a view to determine the possible safety exposure, absorbed radiation dose, and effective dose equivalent of the ionizing radiation from the television. Measurement was conducted using a radiation counter (Geiger Muller Counter) at a distance of 1, 1.8, 2.6, 3.4, 4.2, and 5.0 m, respectively. The absorbed dose, dose equivalent, and effective dose equivalent of Man-Tunkura, K. B. and T-Kurna sport centers were found to be 0.5741, 0.6964, and 0.6864 mGy; 0.0115, 0.0137, and 0.0139 Sv, and 0.0237, 0.0283, and 0.0287 Sv, respectively. The result obtained was compared with the ICRP standard safety lower limit for radiation protection, which falls far below the standard safety limit recommended. This implies that it is safe for people watching television with respect to the distance mentioned above.
