If this ambitious company makes progress, then the moon may get its own 4G network in 2019 to support high-definition video and data transmission between the moon and the Earth.
It is reported that this lunar network is part of the "Mission to the Moon" mission, which aims to achieve the first private payment to land on the moon.
Vodafone, Nokia and Audi are working with scientists at the PTS organization, powered by SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket, bringing the 4G network to the moon's surface and is expected to start next year.
According to Nokia, the 4G network will be created using a technology called ultra-compact network, which weighs roughly the same weight as a bag of sugar.
Robert Böhme, CEO of PTScienTIsts, said in a statement: "This is a key first step in the sustainable development of the solar system. In order for humans to leave the cradle of the earth, we need to develop infrastructure beyond our parent star."
"With the arrival of the moon mission, we will establish and test the first element of a dedicated communications network on the moon."
PTScienTIsts was originally formed to compete for the $20 million Lunar XPrize Award, which will be awarded to the first private company to land an unmanned spacecraft on the moon and perform a series of missions. . These tasks include returning HD videos and photos from the moon to the Earth.
The ultra-compact network will obviously help PTScienTIsts perform these tasks on the lunar surface, however, XPrize ended earlier this year with no winners.
However, PTScienTIsts still pushed its mission to the moon.
“In essence, this has no effect on our plans.†A PTScientists spokesperson said by email.
“In our first mission of the 'moon mission,' we have two key technology partners whose specific engineering and communications expertise supports us. The end of GLXP [Google Lunar XPrize] is their chapter. End, but we will continue this story and work to become a trusted transportation and communications infrastructure provider to serve future lunar missions," she said.
According to the press release, the mission itself is expected to send two Audi Moon Quattro rover vehicles to the moon and allow them to communicate with each other via a 4G network.
These rover vehicles will record high-definition video and check the Apollo 17 rover that carried the astronauts in 1972.
Even if an ultra-compact network never reaches the moon, it can still be used for Earth purposes.
Pushing this technology to the limit may help to achieve future scientific breakthroughs and more effective means of creating 4G networks.
“We are pleased to have been selected by Vodafone as their technology partner. This important task is to support future data networks, process and store the development of new space-level technologies, and will help promote the communications infrastructure, which is academia, Industry and educational institutions need the lunar research institute," said Marcus Weldon, Nokia's chief technology officer and president of Bell Labs, in a statement.
“These goals have potentially wide-ranging impacts on many stakeholders and on humanity as a whole, and we look forward to working closely with Vodafone and other partners in the coming months before the release in 2019.â€
According to reports, because the next-generation network (5G) is still in the testing and testing phase, it may not be stable enough to work on the surface of the moon, so scientists chose to build 4G instead of 5G network.
Circle: The return of the United States to the moon is not a slogan. Although it has an idealistic color, it is still worthwhile for people with imagination and execution, especially the scientific and technical personnel to give it a try. Those who participate in this great cause will not be restricted by different countries and nations. After all, when the moon "receives" guests, we will call ourselves "Earth Man".
