The transatlantic transmission was created by Guglielmo Marconi; an Italian physicist born in Bologna, Italy in 1872. Marconi's first experimentation was a to send a radio signal over 1.5 miles in 1894.
The transatlantic transmission took several trials to be made. Originally Marconi had started off small - 1.5 mile distance - and all of it led up to the December 12, 1901 breakthrough.
Marconi had been building up to a large-scale transmission for several years before the release. He wanted an easy way to communicate between countries. Without it, the radio wave discovery would have been set back many years.
What is it being used for?
The transatlantic transmission allowed for communication between continents, even today it's still being used the way it was intended - just modified. It's been used throughout all of history following its release and is important to everyday country use.
The first test was a radio transmission sent from Newfoundland, England to Canada. The pipes are located across the Atlantic Ocean.
The transatlantic transmission allows us easy contact across continents during peaceful and war times. Not only has it allowed us to delve into radio waves and open up a new field of science, the wireless telegraph combined with the transatlantic transmission is a look at how smartphones came to be.
