Marconi transmitted radio signals for about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) at the end of 1895. [102] Marconi was awarded a patent for radio with British patent No. 12,039, Improvements in Transmitting Electrical Impulses and Signals and in Apparatus There-for. The complete specification was filed 2 March 1897.
Guglielmo Giovanni Maria Marconi [11] [12] was born in Palazzo Marescalchi in Bologna on 25 April 1874, the second son of Giuseppe Marconi (an Italian aristocratic landowner from Porretta Terme who lived in the countryside of Pontecchio) and his Irish wife Annie Jameson (daughter of Andrew Jameson of Daphne Castle in County Wexford, sister of Scottish naturalist James Sligo Jameson, and ...
1898: Marconi opened the first radio factory, on Hall Street, Chelmsford, England, employing around 50 people. 1899: Bose announced his invention of the "iron-mercury-iron coherer with telephone detector" in a paper presented at Royal Society, London. 1899: Tesla experiments with wireless power in Colorado Springs.
Marconi's station at Poldhu, Cornwall, England, initially constructed in October 1900 on a cliff in a remote location to avoid publicity during initial experimentation, was the first large radio transmitter in the world. Marconi decided in 1899 to attempt transatlantic communication.
In 1903, Marconi founded the Marconi's Wireless Telegraph Company of Canada which was renamed as the Canadian Marconi Company in 1925. The radio business of the Canadian Marconi Company is known as Ultra Electronics TCS since 2002 and its avionic activities as CMC Electronics, owned by Esterline since 2007. [6]
In 1894, the young Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi began working on the idea of building long-distance a wireless transmission systems based on the use of Hertzian waves (radio waves), a line of inquiry that he noted other inventors did not seem to be pursuing. [22] Marconi read through the literature and used the ideas of others who were ...
A model of Marconi's transmission towers at his first wireless station in Glace Bay. Marconi National Historic Site, located at Table Head in Glace Bay, is the site of Guglielmo Marconi's first transatlantic wireless station, callsign VAS, and the first wireless message sent from North America to Europe on December 15, 1902.

The first practical radio transmitters and receivers invented in 1894–1895 by Guglielmo Marconi used radiotelegraphy. [5] It continued to be the only type of radio transmission during the first few decades of radio, called the "wireless telegraphy era" up until World War I , when the development of amplitude modulation (AM) radiotelephony ...
