history of cell phones

    • A skilled analytical chemist by the name of Michael Faraday began exhaustive research into whether space could conduct electricity. Faraday exposed his great advances of nineteenth-century science and technology and his discoveries have had an incalculable effect on technical development toward cellular phone development.

  • A cellular phone is a wireless phone that most people these days communicate

    A cellular phone is a wireless phone that most people these days communicate with. It seems that not to long ago that people were still using house. Not little kids have cell phones. In 1843 a man by the name of Michael Faraday studied to see if space could conduct electricity.
  • ransmitted telegraphic messages

    Dr. Mahlon Loomis of Virginia, a dentist, may have been the first person to communicate through wireless via the atmosphere. Between 1866 and 1873 he transmitted telegraphic messages at a distance of 18 miles between the tops of Cohocton and Beorse Deer Mountains, Virginia. He developed a method of transmitting and receiving messages by using the Earth's atmosphere as a conductor and launching kites enclosed with a copper screens that were linked to the ground with copper wires.
  • official cell phone

    The first official cell phone was used by the Swedish police. This was in 1946. They did it by connecting a handheld phone to the telephone network.
  • communication technology,

    From this form of communication technology, the evolution of modern cellular phones took place. Hexagonal cells were created for cell phones by DH Ring. He was working for Bell Labs in 1947. Another engineer from the same company discovered cell towers which has the capability to not only transmit but to also receive the signals in three different directions.
  • Cellular telephone

    Dr. Cooper set up a base station in New York with the first working prototype of a cellular telephone, the Motorola Dyna-Tac. Mr. Cooper and Motorola took the phone technology to New York to show the public.
  • first portable handset.

    Dr Martin Cooper, is considered the inventor of the first portable handset. Dr. Cooper, former general manager for the systems division at Motorola, and the first person to make a call on a portable cellular phone.
  • Cell phones go public.

    Cell phones go public. Public cell phone testing began. The city of Chicago was where the first trials began with 2000 customers, and eventually other cell phone trials appeared in the Washington D.C. and Baltimore area. Japan began testing cellular phone service in 1979.
  • Association (CTIA) was developed to lay down practical goals for cellular phone providers.

    • this year changed many of the technologies that had become typical in the past. The Cellular Technology Industry Association (CTIA) was developed to lay down practical goals for cellular phone providers. This included research for new applications for cell phone development. A new standard was placed with the creation of the TDMA Interim Standard 54, in 1991 by the Telecommunications Industry Association.
