달에 4G 이동통신망 깐다…NASA, 사업자로 노키아 선정
NASA has selected Nokia to build the first mobile network on the moon.
This is part of NASA's program to return humans to the moon by 2024 and build long-term settlements there.
The Finnish company said on Monday local time that the lunar surface would be equipped with a wireless communications system in late 2022.
The company added that it will establish a 4G LTE network system in space, but the final goal is to eventually switch this to 5G.
This will allow astronauts to make voice and video communications, exchange data, and remotely control robotic devices.
