Vodafone Germany, Nokia and Audi said today they were working together to support the mission that could allow lunar rovers to communicate with each other via a 4G mobile phone network.

If it goes ahead this would also enable high-definition live streaming from the lunar landscape back to Earth & make trips to the moon commercially viable.

The plan is to connect two Audi lunar rovers to a base station in the Autonomous Landing and Navigation Module (ALINA).

The 4G network will enable the Audi lunar rovers to transfer scientific data and HD video while they study Nasa’s Apollo 17 lunar roving vehicle that was used by the last astronauts to walk on the Moon.

SikurPhone with a secure Cryptocurrency wallet unveiled at MWC 2018

A long time after launching its security-focused GranitePhone, Brazil’s Sikur at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018 in Barcelona on Tuesday brought the SikurPhone that helps you protect your cryptocurrency.

The new smartphone comes with a pre-installed cryptocurrency wallet and includes cloud integration to securely store various cryptocurrencies under one roof.

Pre-orders for 20,000 units for the SikurPhone have already started at a promotional price of $799 (roughly Rs. 52,100), while the units will ship sometime in August this year.

The SikurPhone is touted to be “hack proof”, protecting user data as well as cryptocurrencies from hackers.

To test how the phone can protect users, Sikur hired ethical hackers from bug bounty company HackerOne between November and December who were failed to gain access to any information, as per COO Alexandre Vasconcelos.
