Many histories of long-distance radio communication claim it all started in the early 20th century. In doing so, crucial events are left out of the story. Hertz was a German physicist who only lived to the age of In his short life, he managed to be the first person to prove that electromagnetic waves existed.
Over the course of the next century, Hertz would be proven wrong in that respect. The hertz, the unit of frequency, was named in his honor. In the year , wireless telegraphs which transmitted telegraph signals by radio waves became more and more common on ships. This had a measurable impact on maritime safety. Nikolai Tesla , was a Serbian-American engineer and inventor. He chose to try these experiments himself and expand on them. Later, he invested the Tesla coil.
These were used commercially until the s in sparkgap radio transmitters. The Italian inventor and engineer Guglielmo Marconi often receives credit for inventing radio. He would later change the name of his company to the Marconi Company.
By , access to two-way telegraphy that could cross the Atlantic Ocean was available commercially. The use of two-way radios in aviation began in Soon thereafter, both military and commercial ships were transmitting and receiving information through the radio waves. Back Education.

In fact, sometimes they're used for much-less exciting means. That doesn't mean, however, that the history of the two-way radio isn't exciting.
Despite the fact that the presence of two-way communication was used as early as in military and commercial means, the first real two-way radio didn't make its appearance until Despite some controversy surrounding who really created the first two-way radio, Frederick William Downie, Senior Constable of the Victorian Police in Australia developed the first real two-way radio. This made the Victoria Police the first to use wireless communication devices in their police cars.
The first two-way radio systems made it possible for police to transmit information quickly and efficiently. Their means of communication prior to the invention of the radio was to stop every half hour to call in their locations and check for updates. Downie's adaptation of the two-way was a milestone for police.
Immediate notification of crimes taking place made it possible for police officers to increase their response time. This invention is credited for saving many lives and apprehending a number of criminals. It wasn't long before police officers and emergency officials began using Downie's radio all over the world.
