NASA awarded Nokia $14 million to deploy 4G connectivity on the moon

-

 NASA plans to land the first woman and second man on the moon by 2024, and once they get there, they need a decent wireless connection back to earth. Nokia has received funding to provide NASA with the first 4G LTE communication system on the moon and in space.


Last week, NASA selected 14 U.S. companies as part of a "tipping point" tender to develop a variety of technologies that "will help pave the way for Artemis' sustainable operation on the moon." One of these companies is Nokia of America Corporation, which NASA awarded $14.1 million in exchange for its plan to provide reliable high data rate 4G LTE communication system on the moon. The program is "the first ultra compact, low-power, space hardened, end-to-end LTE solution on the lunar surface by the end of 2022."


"Taking advantage of our rich and successful history of space technology, from groundbreaking satellite communications to the discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation from the big bang, we are now building the first reliable, resilient and high-capacity communication network that will support humans on the surface of the moon," said Marcus welden, chief technology officer of Nokia and President of Nokia Bell Laboratories The key to sustainable survival, by building the first high-performance wireless network solution on the moon, Nokia Bell labs will be back in service, creating a banner of innovation beyond traditional limits. "


Nokia's LTE network is expected to provide voice and HD video communications as well as telemetry and biometric data. It will also allow remote control of the robot and the ability to deploy and monitor a range of sensor payloads. Nokia also said it intended to "pursue 5g space applications" and hinted that the moon would eventually be upgraded if NASA wanted to use the latest wireless technology in the future.
