The Historical
Point of view
● A handheld mobile radio telephone was
envisioned in the early stages of radio
engineering.
● 1917 - finnish inventor filed a patent for a “pocket-
size folding telephone with a very thin carbon
microphone“
● Early predecessors of cellular phones
included analog radio communications (ships and
trains).
● 1973 - The first handheld cellular
mobile phone: John F.
Mitchell, Martin Cooper of Motorola.
● 1979 - The first commercial
automated cellular network
(Japan): Nippon Telegraph and
Telephone.

● 1981 - simultaneous launch of

the Nordic Mobile
Telephone (NMT) system in
Denmark, Finland, Norway, and
Sweden.
● Several other countries then
followed in the early to mid-1980s.
● 1991 - 2G (Finland): Radiolinja (GSM standard). This sparked competition
in the sector as the new operators challenged the incumbent 1G network
operators.
● 2001 - 3G was launched in Japan, followed by 3.5G, 3G+ or turbo 3G
enhancements based on the HSPA family, allowing UMTS networks to
have higher data transfer speeds and capacity.
