4G on the Moon: Nokia will help NASA configure LTE connectivity for lunar probes

Daily news digital desktop: 6 Will 4G service be available even if you go to the moon this time? To do this, they will enlist the help of Bell Labs, a research team from the famous phone manufacturer Nokia. That is why the two organizations have married. This Bell Labs under Nokia will do its best to provide 4G LTE service on the moon. The entire project will cost 360 million. Of this, NASA will pay 14.61 million US dollars.

Meanwhile, both NASA and Bell Labs have announced their new move. Tweeted by two companies. A statement from Bell Labs said: “We will work with NASA to provide 4G LTE services on the Moon. This will go a long way toward creating a suitable environment for humans to live on the moon. First, with the help of NASA, we will launch the Forge service there. Then it will become a 5G service ‘‌’‌. NASA also tweeted.

To the moon! 🌕

We are excited to have been appointed by @POT As a key partner for the advancement of “Tipping Point” technologies for the moon, to help pave the way for a sustainable human presence on the lunar surface.

So what technology can you expect to see? (1/6) pic.twitter.com/wDNwloyHdP

Many are wondering again, why not plan to put the 5G network on the moon? According to experts, the 5G network is not yet ubiquitous in the world. As a result, there may be doubts about how effective it will be on the moon. On the other hand, 4G services are quite reliable. So maybe NASA is planning to launch that on the moon for now. However, this is not the first time that Vodafone, Nokia, and German automaker Audi have taken a joint initiative to provide Forge service on the moon in 2016. Note that the United States and Russia have plans to build a colony in Moon. In the same way, since people are not limited to this small satellite of the earth, this time they are going to migrate to Mars. Astronauts have claimed that humans will set foot on the red planet in the next 20 years.
