History

Guglielmo Marconi (1874-1937) was an Italian inventor known as the father of long-distance radio transmission, and for his development of Marconi's law and a radio telegraph system. Often credited as the inventor of radio, he shared the 1909 Nobel Prize in Physics with Karl Ferdinand Braun in recognition of their contributions to the development of wireless telegraphy. As an entrepreneur, businessman and founder of the The Wireless Telegraph & Signal Company in Britain in 1897, Marconi succeeded in making a commercial success of radio by innovating and building on the work of previous experimenters and physicists.
