Steve Q Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 As the title says, Audi is teaming up with Nokia and Vodafone to create a 4g network on the moon. Nokia is providing the hardware, vodafone are bringing there networking expertise and Audi are going to provide 2 moon rovers which use the 4g to communicate and stream HD videos of the lunar surface.There will also be a base station with a landing and navigation module for the rovers. The rover will be called the Audi lunar quattro and will be fully electric, have 6 wheels and all wheel drive. Audi's aim is to win Google's $20million lunar xprize. The mission is said to start as early as next year with the hardware being sent to the moon via a space x falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral. This will be the first wireless network on any other planet/moon and Audi's rover will be the first to transverse the moon since the original moon missions. So let's watch this space! http://bgr.com/2018/02/28/4g-moon-network-audio-vodafone-nokia/ http://www.thedrive.com/tech/18907/audi-is-helping-give-the-moon-a-cell-phone-network 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
