    1969: First Words From the Moon A Motorola radio transponder relayed the first words from the moon to Earth in July 1969. The transponder aboard the Apollo 11 lunar module transmitted telemetry, tracking, voice communications and television signals between Earth and the moon.

    Thanks Biomehanika - you are correct !

    Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) has been at the forefront of communication inventions and innovations for nearly 80 years. We have achieved extraordinary accomplishments along the way — such as making the equipment that carried the first words from the moon and leading the cellular communication revolution with the development of the world’s first handheld portable cellular phone, the DynaTAC (DYNamic Adaptive Total Area Coverage) 8000X. We were the first to bring Push-to-Talk over Cellular to market. More recently, Motorola delivered the first all–digital high–definition television (HDTV) technical standard and demonstrated the world’s first WiMAX 802.16e mobile handoff.

    Today, Motorola develops a portfolio of technologies, solutions and services – including wireless handsets, wireless accessories, digital entertainment devices, wireless access systems, voice and data communications systems, and enterprise mobility solutions — that make mobile experiences possible. With the rapid convergence of fixed and mobile broadband Internet and the growing demand for next-generation mobile communication solutions, our mission is to lead the next wave of innovative products that meet the expanding needs of our customers around the world.

    This year Motorola celebrates three historic milestones — the 35th anniversary of the demonstration of the first public portable cellular call with the DynaTAC radio telephone and network; the 25th anniversary of the DynaTAC cellular phone commercial launch; and the 80th anniversary of the company.
