Who is this Martin cooper coming in middle of this blog?
Martin Cooper, American engineer who led the team that in 1972–73 built the first mobile cell phone and made the first cell phone call.
He is widely regarded as the father of the cellular phone.
Who made the first call to whom?
Cooper was placed in charge of the urgent project to develop a cell phone by Motorola company.
He thought that the cell phone should be portable.
The result, the DynaTac (Dynamic Adaptive Total Area Coverage) phone, was 23 cm (9 inches) tall and weighed 1.1 kg (2.5 pounds). It allowed 35 minutes of talk before its battery ran down.
On April 3, 1973, Cooper introduced the DynaTAC phone at a press conference in New York City.
To make sure that it worked before the press conference, he placed the first public cell phone call, to engineer Joel Engel, head of AT&T’s rival project, and gloated that he was calling from a portable cellular phone.
In 1983, after years of further development, Motorola introduced the first portable cell phone for consumers, the DynaTAC 8000x.
Despite its price of $3,995, the phone was a success.
Interesting right...
