Local neighborhoods were compared to the size of the prospective Artemis basecamp near the Moon\u2019s South Pole.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the Greater Cleveland Partnership, an economic development organization, reached out to NASA to figure out the most effective way to bring Wi-Fi to nearly 31% of Cleveland households without broadband access.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe work on space crafts all day and the secondary benefit of that is we develop technologies that come back here to earth,\u201d said Steve Oleson, Compass team lead. \u201cHow do you interconnect all those things, you don\u2019t just blindly say you\u2019re going to design a wireless system for the moon, you say how would they do it on Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/NASA1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"A crew member aboard the International Space Station captured this night view of Cleveland from an altitude of approximately 240 miles.\" class=\"wp-image-19779513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/NASA1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/NASA1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/NASA1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>A crew member aboard the International Space Station captured this night view of Cleveland from an altitude of <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roximately 240 miles.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">NASA<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The study found that attaching Wi-Fi routers to approximately 20,000 lampposts or other utility poles would help solve connectivity issues in Cleveland. By spacing routers no more than 100 yards apart, a four-person home could get around 7.5 megabits per second (Mbps) download speed.<\/p>\n<p>The same pole-based \u201cmesh network\u201d approach has also been proposed for the Artemis basecamp, which could be established before the end of the decade. Comparable mesh networks have been used before on a small scale in homes and in communities like Brooklyn, New York.<\/p>\n<p>While the lunar Wi-Fi framework is still conceptual, the present-day applications of the concept are already being explored in communities like the one that inspired it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe started a conversation with NASA Glenn and they were intrigued with the idea of examining this further and using their expertise to solve this community problem,\u201d said Marty McGann, Greater Cleveland Partnership EVP of Advocacy and Strategy. \u201cI think it really highlights a possible solution for our community. To think that some of their [NASA\u2019s] next solutions could be addressing our core community problems is a really big deal for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The City of Cleveland recently set aside $20 million in American Rescues Plan funds to address broadband expansion. Cuyahoga County where Cleveland is located, also released a request for proposals (RFP), asking companies for affordable internet access solutions throughout the county.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they can build that network on the moon I feel like we should be able to build it here! I never really thought about how work in space could apply to the work that we do here \u2026 it\u2019s a really strong foundation going forward for solutions and that\u2019s what we want,\u201d said Catherine Tkachyk, Cuyahoga County chief innovation and performance officer.\u00a0\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
