NASA Taps Nokia to Build 4G Network on the Moon

NASA has awarded a contract to Nokia to build and deploy a 4G LTE network on the surface of Earth's moon. Nokia will build an ultra-compact, low-power, space-hardened LTE base station and deploy it on the lunar surface using a lunar lander from partner Intuitive Machines in late 2022. The contract is one of many issued by NASA as part of the overall Artemis program which aims to establish a sustainable presence on the Moon, including humans, by the end of the decade. "The network will provide critical communication capabilities for many different data transmission applications, including vital command and control functions, remote control of lunar rovers, real-time navigation and streaming of high definition video."
