A Brief History On Cells Phones
The concept of the cell phone was created in the late 1940's.
Scientists concluded that with small cells with frequency reuse
they could create such a thing as a mobile phone. The technology
that existed at this time however meant that this was
impossible. The Bell corporation is responsible for the concept
of the mobile
phone, but only for use in cars. The first inventor of a
portable cell phone is considered to be Dr. Martin Cooper who
made his first cell phone call in 1973. He made his call to his
rivals at Bell who were closely competing with him to win the
cellular technology race.
In 1977 the model cell phone was created and given to over
2000 trial costumers. Tests continued on cell phones throughout
the late 1970's and early 1980's. In 1982 cell phones were
finally approved for public use in the United States. The cell
phone became in great demand among consumers and by 1987 the
airways were filled with cell phone frequencies. Since the FCC
refused to allow the cell phone industry have any more
bandwidth, cell phone companies
began expanding and improving their technology. Today, cell
phones are found in virtually every household and many people
could not imagine life without them. We now have phones that
include gimmicks such as camera phones, phones that download
music, video camera phones and text messaging. The cell phone
services have come along way since the idea was thought of in
1947, and we have Dr. Martin Cooper and Joel Engel to thank.
