Motorola Founded:
On September 25, 1928, Paul V. Galvin
and his brother, Joseph, incorporated
Motorola's founding company—the Galvin
Manufacturing Corporation—in
Chicago, Illinois, USA.Battery Eliminator:
Galvin Manufacturing Corporation's
first product was a 1928 battery
eliminator. This power converter
allowed battery-powered radios to
run on household electricity. The
company's first customer was Sears,
Roebuck and Co., which sold battery
eliminators to consumers.First Car Radio:
In 1930 Galvin Manufacturing Corporation
introduced the Motorola radio, one of the
first commercially successful car radios.
Company founder Paul V. Galvin created
the brand name Motorola for the car
radio -- linking "motor" (for motorcar) with
"ola" (which implied sound). Thus the
Motorola brand meant sound in motion.Handie Talkie:
In 1940 Galvin Manufacturing
Corporation engineers developed
the Handie-Talkie SCR536 AM
portable two-way radio. This
handheld radio became a World War II
icon. The Handie-Talkie and other
radios Galvin Manufacturing developed
for the U.S. military at this time did
not carry the Motorola brand.First Words From the Moon:
Motorola radio equipment relayed
the first words from the moon to
Earth on July 20, 1969.. Motorola supplied the
specially developed backpack antenna
worn by astronaut Neil Armstrong, as
well as equipment to process TV signals
on Earth, and equipment responsible for
range safety functions on all three stages
of the Saturn V rocket and precision
tracking during the launch phase.First Commercial Cell-phone:
The world's first commercial
handheld cellular phone, the
Motorola DynaTAC phone,
received approval from the
U.S. Federal Communications
Commission on September 21, 1983.
The 28-ounce (794-gram) phone
became available to consumers
in 1984.Motorola MOTOMESH Broadband Radio Network:
In 2005 Motorola's MOTOMESH wireless mobile
network was one of the first multiradio mesh
networks to combine 4.9 GHz licensed mobile
broadband radios and unlicensed Wi-Fi radios
into a single access point. Mesh networking
allowed public safety users to rapidly create a
network of wireless devices linked in a relay
system.
