4G Network on the Moon Live Streaming
Will we be able to speak with the Astronauts on the Moon with the new Nokia 4G telcom? How will this technology be different from what is on Earth?
Join us for a session on 4G telcom on the Moon. How is NASA and Nokia building this platform? Find out all the details today.
The connectivity space race is heating up - and expanding beyond Earth orbit. Nokia is working with Intuitive Machines and SpaceX to put a 4G cellular network on the moon, and NASA is paying SpaceX and Blue Origin to look into creating satellite-based communication networks for Mars. What would such networks be used for, and how might they open the way for an interplanetary internet? Science journalist Alan Boyle, who's been covering space-based networking for more than two decades, provides his perspective.
