Brief Cellular Wireless History

The first concept leading towards cellular wireless technology was the creation of Mobile Radio services.

Mobile radio services were first used in 1921. Police used mobile radio for closed radio communications between police dispatch. Only one line of communication could be used at a time.

It wasn't until 1946 that the first mobile telephone was created. These phones were specifically made for cars and ran a price of $2,500 and that was in 1946!

Along with the bulky shape and price of these analog cell phones, only 25 users in an entire city could use the cellular service at one time.

If that wasn't enough, lines were full of static and constantly disconnecting.

Over the years cellular wireless technology has gone digital and although many may complain of cellular quality still, cellular services are far more reliable and affordable today than they ever were before.
