Who Created The First Cellphone

By Francis SpierOctober 5, 2021

In the past, people had to rely on landline telephones for their communications. But as time went by and technology advanced, this became less necessary - until cell phones came along! The rate at which we adopted these devices is simply astonishing: today, you can hardly go anywhere without seeing someone talking into one of those things all day long. Who invented them?

To get the answer to that question, you need to look back for more than a century. In 1876 Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, and then in 1900, on December 23rd, an inventor named Reginald Fessenden accomplished something remarkable when he sent human voice via radio waves for miles away from one tower into another!

Fessenden's work paved a path for broadcast radio, but it also provided a foundation for cell phones and networks to grow. In 1947, engineer William Rae Young proposed that radio towers arranged hexagonally would be able to support an AT&T telephone network- which eventually became known as "The Mother Of All Networking Technologies."

Young's design allowed for low-power transmitters and call handoffs, but the technology to make this happen was lacking. It would take around or more than ten years before another development made its way into practice - what we now know as GSM cell phones!

The world was waiting for more developments in cell phone technology, but companies had already started to offer customers the chance to use radiotelephones. These devices resembled walkie-talkies and could only make a few calls at once - sometimes as little as three!

No one would have ever predicted that how much the world would change with a phone call. The first cell phones were bulky and heavy, but now we carry them around in our pockets like they're nothing!

The output should be about how amazing these little devices really are- you can't even imagine life before this technological marvel called "the mobile."

In the 1960s, Bell Labs engineers Richard H. Frenkiel and Joel S. Engel developed technology to support Young's design of cellular networks, but AT&T sought permission from Federal Communications Commission (FCC) before they could deploy it in 1973; when another company made their bold move!

The first cellular telephone call was made by Motorola's Martin Cooper to future rival Joel Engel at Bell Labs. The phone wasn't a tiny device.It weighed 2 pounds and measured 22 centimeters long!
