Timelines

On July 20th 1887, Marconi founded the Wireless Signal and Telegraph Company. Here I trace the timeline of the company with its many offshoots takeovers and mergers up to the present day .

This is a list of the Company MD's starting with Godfrey Isaacs when the company was founded.

Before Marconi developed wireless telegraphy, ships were isolated once they were out of view. As the equipments became more efficient, many lives at sea were saved. This timeline covers the development of wireless at sea.

This timeline covers the development of wireless in the air.

The earliest wireless devices spanned distances of only a few feet, and were not capable of transmitting voice and pictures as is the case today. This timeline covers the main technical advances in radio.
