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.
