The term “mobile” has historically been used to classify all radio terminal that could be moved during operation. More recently, use “mobile” to describe a radio terminal that is attached to a high speed mobile platform e.g., a cellular telephone in a fast moving vehicle use “portable” to describes a radio terminal that can be hand- held and used by someone at walking speed e.g., a walkie-talkie or cordless telephone inside a home 6 [Rappaport, 2002, p 9] [Goldsmith, 2005, Section 1.1] History (1) The first wireless networks were developed in the pre- industrial age. These systems transmitted information over line-of-sight distances (later extended by telescopes) using smoke signals, torch signaling, flashing mirrors, signal flares, or semaphore flags. 7 Semaphore 8 History: Radio Early communication networks were replaced first by the telegraph network (invented by Samuel Morse in 1838) and later by the telephone. In 1895, Marconi demonstrated the first radio transmission. Very high transmission power (> 200 kW) Early radio systems transmitted analog signals. Today most radio systems transmit digital signals composed of binary bits. A digital radio can transmit a continuous bit stream or it can group the bits into packets. The latter type of radio is called a packet radio and is characterized by bursty transmissions 9 History: ALOHANET The first network based on packet radio, ALOHANET, was developed at the University of Hawaii in 1971. ALOHANET incorporated the first set of protocols for channel access and routing in packet radio systems, and many of the underlying principles in these protocols are still in use today. Lead to Ethernet and eventually wireless local area networks (WLAN). 10 History: Pre-Cellular (1) The most successful application of wireless networking has been the cellular telephone system. 1915: Wireless voice transmission (wireless telephony) between New York and San Francisco was first established by AT&T. 1946: First public mobile telephone service was introduced in 25 cities across the US. The equipment was expensive at $2,000. More than the price of a typical new car (at that time). [Goldsmith, 2005, p 3] 11 [http://earlyradiohistory.us/1915ATT1.htm] History: Pre-Cellular (2) Car Phone 12 History: Pre-Cellular (3) These initial systems used a single central transmitter to cover an entire metropolitan area.

FM push-to-talk 1976: (30 yrs after the introduction of the service in 1946), the New York system (10M people) could only support 543 paying customers. 3,700 on the waiting list The mobile units weighed about 10 kilograms and put out a steady 20-25 watts. The central transmitters that communicate with the mobile units broadcast 200 to 250 watts. 13 [Klemens, 2010, Chapter 3] History: Pre-Cellular System (3.1) The central station could reliably communicate with the mobile units up to a radius of approximately 25 miles (50 km). Region 2 Region 1 Colored area indicates the Region 4 coverage area of the central Region 3 transmitter in the corresponding region 14 [Klemens, 2010, p 46] History: Pre-Cellular System (3.2) Beyond that, up to a radius of 60 to 100 miles, the signal was too weak for consistent service, but strong enough to interfere with any other mobile radio system. Downlink signal in this region is strong enough for Region 2 communication Region 1 The signal in this region is not strong enough for Region 4 communication but still impose significant Region 3 interference on users in other regions 15 [Klemens, 2010, p 46] History: Pre-Cellular System (3.3) Region 2 Region 4 Uplink signals from user of a Region 3 cell can reach the BS of a different region. 16 [Klemens, 2010, p 46] History: Pre-Cellular System (3.4) Regions need to be well-separated! As a result, the central transmitters had to be at least 100 miles apart, leaving a 50 mile blank space between them. So a customer could use the sporadic and unreliable service only within the confines of one area. Region 1 Region 2 Region 4 Region 3 17 History: 1G Cellular (1) A solution to this capacity problem emerged during the 50’s and 60’s when researchers at AT&T Bell Laboratories developed the cellular concept. 1968: AT&T proposed the concept to the FCC Cellular systems exploit the fact that the power of a transmitted signal falls off with distance. Thus, two users can operate on the same frequency at spatially-separate locations with minimal interference between them.

The second generation (2G) of cellular systems, first deployed in the early 1990’s, were based on digital communications. The shift from analog to digital was driven by its higher capacity and the improved cost, speed, and power efficiency of digital hardware. 1991: US Digital Cellular (USDC – IS-54 > IS-136) Three times capacity of AMPS via digital modulation, speech coding, and TDMA While second generation cellular systems initially provided mainly voice services, these systems gradually evolved to support data services such as email, Internet access, and short messaging. 31 [Myung and Goodman, 2008] Two important 2G systems GSM supports SMSs and user data at rates only up to 9.6 kb/s.

  • History of Mobile Phones
    History of mobile phones The history of mobile phones begins with early efforts to develop mobile telephony concepts using two-way radios and continues through emergence of modern mobile phones and associated services. Radiophones have a long and varied history going back to Reginald Fessenden's invention and shore-to-ship demonstration of radio telephony, through the Second World War with military use of radio telephony links and civil services in the 1950s, while hand-held mobile radio devices have been available since 1973. Mobile phone history is often divided into generations (first, second, third and so on) to mark significant step changes in capabilities as the technology improved over the years. In Europe, radio telephony was first used on the first-class passenger trains between Berlin and Hamburg in 1926. At the same time, radio telephony was introduced on passenger airplanes for air traffic security. Later radio telephony was introduced on a large scale in German tanks during the Second World War. In all of these cases the service was confined to specialists that were trained to use the equipment. In the early 1950s ships on the Rhine were among the first to use radio telephony with an untrained end customer as a user. However it was the 1940s onwards that saw the . Motorola developed a backpacked two-way radio, the Walkie-Talkie and a large hand-held two-way radio for the US military. This battery powered "Handie-Talkie" (HT) was about the size of a man's forearm. In 1946 in St. Louis, the Mobile Telephone Service was introduced In 1964 Improved Mobile Telephone Service was introduced with additional channels and more automatic handling of calls to the public switched telephone network.

The study focuses on the evolution of telecommunication in Ghana and examines the social, economic, religious and academic impacts that mobile phones have on the Ghanaian society and Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in particular. It adopted a qualitative approach. Data was collected using questionnaires and interviews. Simple random sampling and convenience sampling were both employed in the selection of participants for the study. The results show that most phone users prefer to use their phones to make voice calls than to send text messages. Observations and responses from the respondents showed that students and general users of smart phones had easy access to information. The use of smart phones had positive and adverse impact on some of the people within the university community and on the studies of students in particular.

The article analyzes historical patterns of mobile phone growth and their effects in energy needs. Through an empirical analysis employing diffusion models on data for 227 countries between 1980 and 2010, it is concluded that global demand may saturate at around one subscription per person and the diffusion of mobile-broadband connection has contributed to sustain growth. Demand has already showed signs of saturation in developed countries, while there is still potential for growth in developing countries. Impacts on energy consumption are assessed with the help of a field trial. Even though the energy consumed in phone charging was not very significant (6- 8TWh) in 2010, it becomes substantially higher when infrastructural needs are included (93TWh). The actual trends suggest that mobile communication might have a sizeable direct effect on energy consumption—although the net impact on energy demand is more difficult to estimate.

    A Timeline Overview of Motorola History 1928—2008 MOTOROLA HISTORY A Timeline Overview of Motorola History 1928-2008 A timeline overview of Motorola heritage from its founding as Galvin Manufacturing Corporation in 1928 to its position today as a global leader in communications and electronics. Events may be Motorola, industry or world firsts. 1920s 1928 Founding of Company On September 25, 1928, Paul V. Galvin and his brother, Joseph, incorporated Motorola’s founding company—the Galvin Manufacturing Corporation—in Chicago, Illinois, USA. 1928 Battery Eliminator Galvin Manufacturing Corporation's first product was a 1928 battery eliminator. This home electronics device allowed battery-powered radios to run on standard household electric current. The company’s first customer was Sears, Roebuck and Co., which sold battery eliminators to consumers. 1930s 1930 First Motorola Brand Car Radio In 1930 Galvin Manufacturing Corporation introduced the Motorola radio, one of the first commercially successful car radios. Company founder Paul V. Galvin created the brand Motorola for the car radio—linking "motor" (for motorcar) with "ola" (which implied sound). Thus the Motorola brand meant sound in motion. 1930 First Motorola Public Safety Radio Sales Galvin Manufacturing Corporation began selling Motorola car radios to police departments and municipalities in 1930. 1936 Police Cruiser Radio Receiver In 1936 Galvin Manufacturing Corporation introduced the Motorola Police Cruiser radio receiver, a one-way car radio designed to receive police broadcasts. The heavy-duty radio was tuned to a single frequency specified by the customer. MOTOROLA and the Stylized M Logo are registered in the US Patent & Trademark Office. © Motorola, Inc.
