Vodafone and Nokia have joined forces to bring 4G to a barren, characterless expanse. From 2019 LTE will be available on the moon.
Vodafone's network will be used to set up the Moon's first 4G network, connecting two Audi Lunar Quattro rovers to a base station in the Autonomous Landing and Navigation Module (ALINA).
The base station should be able to broadcast 4G using the 1800 MHz frequency band and send back live HD video feed of the Moon's surface, which will be broadcast to a global audience via a deep space link.
Nokia, through Nokia Bell Labs, will create a space-grade Ultra Compact Network - weighing less than one kilo.
