Wireless is an old-fashioned term for a radio transceiver (a mixed receiver and transmitter device), referring to its use in wireless telegraphy early on; now the term is used to describe modern wireless connections such as in cellular networks and wireless broadband Internet.

History


Main article: Radio: Invention and history

Originally, radio technology was called 'wireless telegraphy', which was shortened to 'wireless'. The identity of the original inventor of radio, at the time called wireless telegraphy, is contentious. The controversy over who invented the radio, with the benefit of hindsight, can be summed up with the answer to who invented 'wireless transmission of data'? Nikola Tesla holds the US patent for this. The founding principles and inventions of wireless technology can be found in the lectures and patent record of the electrical engineer Tesla (and in his 1916 deposition on the history of wireless and radio technology). It was also later pioneered by Jagdish Chandra Bose and Guglielmo Marconi. A wireless set was the radio receiver, referring to its use as a wireless telecommunication station. The term "wireless" was widely used in the UK and Ireland, long after radio was being used for other signals, such as music.
