NASA Plans 5G network with Nano-Satellite

A 5G network for telecommunications and networking from space is the objective of a project of the Ames Research Center of NASA and the California technology company machine-to-Machine Intelligence (m2mi). Want to achieve the project partners using a large number of very small satellite, called nano-satellites. They are not as the usual large communications satellite in geostationary orbit, but significantly lower in low Earth orbit (Low Earth Orbit, LEO) position. “Many small satellites as distributed, decentralized system is to have a modern approach,” said Klaus Schilling from the Institute of computer science at the University of Wurzburg to press. As an advantage, reduced launch costs. Read More »
