Inventor Celebrates 30th Anniversary of First Portable Cell Phone Call

Thirty years ago today, Martin Cooper placed the first public telephone call using a portable cellular phone. At the time, Cooper was general manager of Motorola’s Communications Systems Division. That first call was placed to Cooper’s rival at AT&T’s Bell Labs from the streets of New York City. Today, Cooper is founder and CEO of ArrayComm, which is leveraging adaptive antenna technology to increase the capacity of cellular systems for delivering high-speed, mobile Internet access.
