Nokia's Bell Labs is open to collaborating with ISRO, government agencies, and private players in India's space sector to support future lunar missions with 4G and advanced networking technologies.
Thierry Klein, President of Bell Labs Solutions Research, visited India to explore partnerships and engagement opportunities within India's space ecosystem.
Nokia Bell Labs is developing space-adapted 4G and 5G technologies to meet the communication needs of upcoming lunar missions, like Chandrayaan-4 in 2027.
The move towards 5G on the Moon is anticipated by 2030, aligning with Earth's adoption of 6G, with plans to integrate 4G LTE into next-generation space suits for NASA missions.
