  Should all go according to plan, Nokia’s 4G/LTE lunar network would provide more bandwidth than the traditional ultra-high frequency (UHF) systems used for space communication.

  Did previous missions to the moon only use UHF to communicate with each other? I thought that was more for long distance moon to earth communication

    I believe they did. In a way it mitigated single point of failure. Nice question
