Who Invented Wireless Technology?

Wireless communication was originally invented when Alexander Graham Bell and Charles Summer Tainter sought patents for their idea in 1888. The invention was known as the photo phone and was the early precursor to the telephone. Eventually, it didn't have any use, because electricity and its equipment didn't exist. A man named Heinrich Hertz established the ability to do electromagnetic waves in 1889, which was previously just a theory. After rigorous testing of sound waves, a significant standard developed for wireless communication. He could create sound, then demonstrate that the electromagnetic waves could be transmitted and travel through air space in straight lines. The waves were then caught by the receiver at the other end.

Nevertheless, it was in 1891, Nikola Tesla, a gadget maker, who made the firs discovery of the first wireless radio communication and radio remote control technology. According to the website-www.teslaociety.com/biography.htm; the Tesla coil which he invented is widely used today in radio and television sets and other electronic equipment. Afterward, in 1895, Jagdish Chandra Bose created the early wireless detection device, and was recognized as the man of the time with the spectrum of knowledge for wireless communication.

Doctor Martin Cooper invented the cell phone. His expertise is responsible for the discovery fo technology for the modern cell phone. He produced it when he was the Director of Research and Development at Mortorola. Dr. Martin Cooper is also known as the first person to make a call on a cell phone. His revolutionary call took place in April of 1973, in New York. He is currently the CEO of an antenna corporation of electromagnetic waves.

Now, of course, there is abundant wireless communication innovation. That includes a series of other technology that are far apart from the wireless telegraphy. They are now the cellular phone networks and colossal wireless broadband telephony and internet. Modern marvels now include many practical uses for wireless communication technology, for example; in security systems, where the access can be controlled through wireless technologies. It is amazing how we now have HGTV and internet music systems that use remote control devices to access wireless technology.
