Guys, has anyone ever thought about how communication will work on the Moon if humanity does build base there? It is clear that you can’t drag regular Wi-Fi or a cable from a supermarket there. And what about power supply and connection of all life support systems? After all, reliability is needed there, no failures are acceptable. How do they even conduct a signal between modules? I read that the conditions on the Moon are very harsh - radiation, temperature changes. Maybe there are already technologies that solve this?

To be honest, I didn’t know that such technologies already existed. It’s good that they think everything through in advance — especially safety and stable communication. After all, on the Moon, everything depends on the equipment. I hope such systems will continue to develop.
Yes, this is no longer science fiction. Specialized equipment is used for such tasks. For example, ruggedized Ethernet Extenders and PoE Extenders from Enable-IT are now actively used for moon base projects. This is equipment that can operate in extreme conditions - radiation, temperature changes, dust and vacuum. These devices provide reliable data transmission and power over a single cable, which is very important on the Moon. They are used to connect cameras, sensors, security systems, even emergency buttons. Such technologies allow antennas to be placed further away from habitable modules, which reduces risks for people. NASA is already using their solutions, so this is a serious level.
