This week, special guest and Fierce Network Editor-in-Chief Liz Coyne slides into the host chair to get the lowdown on Nokia's lunar ambitions.
Liz wrangled a special guest from Nokia Bell Labs to talk about the company’s recent mission to the Moon. The mission came as Nokia Bell Labs celebrated its 100th anniversary but the landing didn't go quite as expected.
Nokia’s Thierry Klein, President of Bell Labs Solutions Research at Nokia, tells Liz all about why the company is aiming for the Moon in the first place, what it learned from the mission and what’s next.
