NASA satellites will introduce 5G mobile technology

The next big thing in mobile technology is 4G, but NASA isn’t content with that. While tech is still content with the number 3, the space agency already has plans to launch a new armada of satellites that will introduce 5G technology. Details in the full article.

While mobile technology is still content with the number 3, NASA already has its sights on the fifth generation telecommunications system, or 5G.

Working together m2mi, NASA plans to launch an armada of small satellites that only weight between 11 and 110 pounds. These satellites are appropriately called nanosatellites, and will be launched in groups called “constellations.”

These satellites pave the way for 5G mobile technology, incorporating Voice Over Internet Protocol, video, data, wireless, and an integrated machine-to-machine intelligence layer in the technology.

Machine-to-machine intelligence, or m2mi, provides a seamless exchange and use of information between machines. We don’t know how fast that is, but “very, very fast” would likely be an appropriate description. Hopefully, lags will be left behind in 3G.
