NASA Appoints Nokia to Deploy First-Ever Cellular Network on Moon
The main project encompasses the building and launch of an ultra-compact, low-power, space-resilient, end-to-end LTE solution on the moon surface. For the purpose, Nokia has collaborated with Intuitive Machines to integrate a network that will automatically configure itself upon deployment and consequently establish the first-ever LTE connection on the lunar surface. This proclaims a historical chapter in Nokia’s history, as the company has been given the honour of building an LTE/4G network on the moon. Basically, it will be able to offer critical communication services for a range of data transmission applications such as command and control functions in spaceships, remote control of lunar robot explorers, real-time navigation, and streaming of high-quality video Marcus Weldon, Chief Technology Officer at Nokia believes that his company is, yet again, poised to initiate an innovative development for humanity. On the development, he said, Nokia’s lunar network will be designed with respect to the harsh conditions of outer space in mind. The fully integrated cellular network will be very resilient and flexible and will be able to meet the sheer size, weight, and power constraints of space payloads. Check out?
