There are no satellites that talk 5g in GEO
but now that SpaceX has launched their first 6 satellites that talk cellular,
how many of them would be needed to give continuous coverage of the moon? They
could be in a much higher orbit (as there are so few users), so they shouldn't
need the hundreds that they needed to launch before getting global coverage of
earth.
