NASA chooses Nokia to build first 4G mobile network on the moon for future colony.
c/p
Nokia said the first wireless broadband communications system in space would be built on the lunar surface in late 2022, before humans make it back there.
The Finnish company will partner with Texas-based private space craft design firm Intuitive Machines to deliver the network equipment to the moon on their lunar lander.
end c/p
Found some funny comments in social-media concerning this, with some examples below...
'Well the data speeds should be great as not too many users. The voice calls may have wee bit of latency on those earthbound calls'
'How much will it cost for ET to phone home?'
'Nice to see H-u-a-w-e-i did not win the contract.'
