The Road to 4G Nigel Linge, Andy Sutton THE ROAD TO 4G When Dr Martin Cooper of Motorola walked along Sixth Avenue in New York on 3 April, 1973, he entered the history books by becoming the fi rst person to make a mobile phone call. But this is just part of the story.

Prof. Dr. Dodo zu Knyphausen-Aufseß 2. Prof. Dr. Peter Witt Prüfungstermin: 25.11.2004 to my parents __________________________________________________________________________________ ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I want to thank a number of individuals and organizations for their advice and support throughout this research project. First, I would like to thank my academic advisor Dodo zu Knyphausen-Aufseß who, throughout our joint two years, supported this work in two ways. As regards content, his counsel set the basic direction of my work and strongly influenced the selection of a suitable research methodology; he shaped the overall ‘storyline’ of this research study with his challenging questions. His interest and openness allowed me to develop my own approaches and find “my way”. As regards the academic environment, Dodo zu Knyphausen-Aufseß’s enthusiasm and dedication was a cornerstone in initiating Exist-HighTEPP, an entrepreneurial research program in Bamberg, Germany. Exist-HighTEPP provided an excellent research environment here in Germany and funds for a visiting scholarship at the Wharton School. In the US, I would like to thank Claus Rerup of the Wharton School for teaching me the necessary academic humility and ambition, and Simone Ferriani from the University of Bologna for the discussions concerning network and resource dependency theory and his thoughts on co-evolution of alliances and organizations. My understanding of strategic management and entrepreneurship has also greatly benefited from the insights I gained through many discussions at Wharton with Sidney Winter, Ian MacMillan, and Lori Rosenkopf.

As infrastructures, or large- scale systems, information and communication technologies (ICTs) are central to citizens’ political, economic, and social lives. Historically and today, a variety of factors such as political and regulatory decisions impact access to infrastructure. Current concerns about equitable access include the network neutrality.

    History of Mobile Telephony MAS 490: Theory and Practice of Mobile Applications Professor John F. Clark Everything I know about mobile telephony, I learned from: Evolution is not a theory when it concerns cell phones Early History of Radiophones Nicola Tesla and Guglielmo Marconi were the founders of wireless technology Ship to shore radiotelegraphy employed wireless use of Morse Code Later, radiophones and radiotelephony transmitted speech In 1900 Reginald Fessenden invented early broadcasting, transatlantic two-way voice communication, and later television Tesla, Marconi, and Fessenden The Great Wireless Fiasco Early History of Radiophones In 1926 radiophones connected people traveling on trains in Europe A little later, they were introduced in planes, but this was too late for World War I Radiophones made a huge difference in WWII – planes, tanks, and field communication via backpack radios and walkie-talkies. Later, in the 1950s, radiophones made civil and commercial services possible Military Field Communications Civil Field Communications Civil Field Communications, pt. 2 Early History of Mobile Telephony The 60s and 70s saw a variety of commercial car services – the earliest weighed 90-100 pounds These services operated using high power transmissions The concept of low power transmission in hexagonal cells was introduced in 1947 The electronics were advanced enough by the 60s to pull it off, but there was no method for handoffs from one cell to the next High Power Mobile Phone Low Power Mobile Phone System Early History of Mobile Telephony That problem was solved with the first functioning cell system and first real cell phone call in 1973. The phone, which weighed about six pounds, was developed by Martin Cooper of Motorola Bell Labs and Motorola were the main competitors in the US.

  • Motorola Micro Tac Classic
    Motorola Micro Tac Classic Product: Motorola Micro Tac Classic Date of Design: 1992 Designer / Retailer: Motorola Cost 1992: - Cost 2007: £40 Retro Brick state… The Motorola MicroTAC phone set a new design standard for 1989 with a flip-lid mouthpiece. As the smallest and lightest phone on the market, the unit weighed 12.3 ounces, measured 6.75 x 2.25 x 1.25 inches and retailed between £1,200 and £1,800… ouch. This phone is actually third generation of this particular design and was launched in 1991/2 ‘This was a whole new direction for Motorola. New technological advances meant that the equipment could be radically downsized. And so began the quest to be the smallest, lightest and most portable. The original MicroTAC was a completely new design and was the first phone to use this radical flip. There are also few things about it which are quite unusual.... The small hole in the front of the flip gave you the impression that there was a microphone in the flip which was positioned directly in front of your mouth, however, the microphone is actually situated just behind a tiny hole in the main part of the phone just between the right hand hinge and the call end button on the bottom right. Another puzzling design feature was the retractable aerial. In fact, the aerial does absolutely nothing as it is purely for show. The unit features an internal antenna, however, the pull up plastic was added after focus groups in the US felt that any phone should have a visible aerial.

  • 2 to Be Somebody: Ambition and the Desire to Be Different
    2 To Be Somebody: Ambition and the Desire to Be Different The context for difference This chapter aims to identify some of the bands that enjoyed chart success during the late 1970s and ’80s and identify their artistic traits by means of conversations with band members and those close to the bands. This chapter does not claim to be a definitive account or an inclusive list of innovative bands but merely a viewpoint from some of the individuals who were present at the time and involved in music, creativity and youth culture. Some of these individuals were in the eye of the storm while others were more on the periphery. However, common themes emerge and testify to the Scouse resilience identified in the previous chapter. Also, identifying objective truth is a difficult task, as one band member will often have a view of his band’s history that conflicts with that of other members of the same band. As such, it is acknowledged that this chapter presents only selective viewpoints. Trying something new: In what ways were the Liverpool bands creative and different? ‘Liverpool has always made me brave, choice-wise. It was never a city that criticized anyone for taking a chance.’ David Morrissey1 In terms of creativity, the theory underpinning this book which was stated in Chapter 1 is that successful Liverpool bands in the 1980s were different from each other and did not attempt to follow the latest local or national pop music trends. None of the bands interviewed falls into the categories of punk, disco or New Romantic, which were popular trends at the time.

  • 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.
