Boigraphy: Martin Cooper
The Dr. Martin Cooper story is truly an inspirational one, especially for all future scientist, entrepreneurs, and innovators.
He was born in Chicago, Illinois on December26, 1928, and earned his Bachelors and Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology in 1950 and 1957 respectively. Martin Cooper, prior to his employment withMotorola in 1954, served in the Navy for 4 years, working on destroyers, and on submarines. He had also worked for a short time with another telecommunications company, before his historic associationwith Motorola.
In the early years at Motorola, he worked on portable products, including hand radios, made for the Chicago Police Department in 1967. Shortly after this project, he began working onMotorola's Cellular Research project, and developed the 3lb prototype from his base in Washington. Working in consultation with FCC, and against AT&T competition, he decided to come to New York topromote the technology. Martin Cooper was on his way to the press conference, when he decided to make a trial call. He made the first wireless call to his rival Dr. Joe Engel, the Research Director atAT&T Bell's Lab on April 13, 1973. That call was to change the communication world forever, as he was able to tap into people's need to freely talk to each other. He believed the consumer freedomto talk was inhibited by the copper wire of the land line telephone, and by researching and developing the use of the wireless phone, there would be an unleashing of those strong communication desires.The mobile phone invention propelled his co-founding and managing of ArrayCom, a company that uses core adaptive antenna technology, to increase the capacity and coverage of cellular systems, whilelowering the cost and improving speech reliability. This company, under Dr.Cooper's leadership, also used the technology to make the Internet more personal, by using the I-Burst personal Broadband...
