Nokia 's 4 G network would have provided connectivity for several rovers as a part of the IM-2 mission.

The company had planned to make the first cellular call on the moon with the rovers, but the vehicles weren't deployed.

The mission was supposed to pave the way for NASA 's Artemis III mission to the moon in 2027 .

4 G LTE communications will be integrated into the Axiom spacesuit in the future.

The microphones in the suit will be voice activated, and the network will be able to handle multiple real-time HD video streams, not to mention telemetry and data from the built-in sensors.

The IM-2 was the only scheduled test of Nokia 's 4 G network on the moon .
