According to details, Nokia plans to launch the 4G network with the help of SpaceX rocket this year. For more than 14 years, 4G internet has been available to users on Earth. Now, however, the technology will take off and offer high-speed internet to users on the moon.
The Finnish telecommunications company “Nokia” confirmed that it is getting ready to set up a 4G network on the moon later this year. You did not misread that. If established, this mobile network will improve lunar findings and support the next lunar missions and explorations.
The 4G network will be deployed with assistance from SpaceX, who will transport the network system to the moon on a SpaceX rocket, according to the information posted on Nokia’s official website.
According to the details, the network system is based on a rover that can travel from one location to another depending on the needs. This rover has the capacity to produce energy from solar energy, powering both the 4G network and itself.
A base station with antennas inside of this rover houses a Nova-C lunar lander, assuring a successful launch. In the southern limb of the moon, in a place known as the Shackleton crater, it has been proposed that the 4G network rover will be set down. The 4G technology is strong and durable and can withstand the hostile conditions of the moon.
The Artemis 1 project, which is intended to be the first human landing on the moon’s surface since 1972, is the main driver behind the launch of the 4G network. According to reports, the first people to use the 4G network on the moon will be the astronauts who land on the Artemis 1 mission.
