Some people might think wireless to be a recently new technology, ..

May 7, 1895, was to become the birth day of the ELECTRONIC ERA. On that historic date, the first wireless telegraph message was successfully transmitted, received, and deciphered. Russian scientist Aleksander Stepanovich Poppov sent a message from a Russian Navy ship 30 miles out to sea, all the way to his lab in St. Petersburg, Russia.

No one person “invented” wireless electronic communications, even though Guglielmo Marconi for over 100 years has been called the inventor of radio. Marconi did take the ideas and inventions of others and put them together in a workable form to allow people to send messages through the air, invisibly, on radio waves.

But, at almost the same time Marconi was making his “discovery” in 1895, a Russian professor made the same discovery. The main difference was that Marconi was an enthusiastic entrepreneur who rushed to spread news of his discovery to the world and to sell it to them.

Alexander Popov (also spelled “Popoff”), by contrast, was apparently driven by a different spirit and never had a desire to profit from his discoveries.
