When the last Apollo astronauts lifted off from the Moon in 1972, they left behind three remarkable machines at various sites. These Lunar Roving Vehicles (LRV), better known as the Lunar Rovers, were electrically-powered two-seaters that turned the Apollo landings from brief visits to serious exploration missions.

Nokia announced today that it is working with non-profit organization, DigitalC, to deliver much needed high-speed internet connectivity to underserved homes in Cleveland, Ohio, using its Digital Automation Cloud (DAC) end-to-end private wireless solution.

The deployment of Nokia DAC will allow DigitalC to leverage private LTE technology to provide affordable, reliable and high-speed internet access to thousands of people around Cleveland.
