"From Sparks to 5G and Beyond!", with Ira Brodsky

Chatham Marconi Maritime Center welcomes consultant and author Ira Brodsky to its virtual First Thursday Speaker Series

Wireless technology has come very far, very fast.  Our speaker, Ira Brodsky, takes you on an historical tour of amazing and sometimes surprising wireless innovations; the theories, experiments, and controversies that paved the way; and a glimpse of what the future may hold.

About the First Thursday Speaker Series:   On the first Thursday of each month from October through June, the Chatham Marconi Maritime Center will present a lecture or presentation drawn from the resources of the Marconi-RCA Wireless Museum, the STEM After Hours program, or member-suggested topics related to its mission.  For the foreseeable future the series will be presented virtually, or if conditions permit in a hybrid format with a limited live audience.  More at: www.ChathamMarconi.org.
