Then, they developed FM portable wireless telephone transceivers for the US Army Communications Department, and produced 50,000 sets during the war. Noble, the main researcher involved in the development, was awarded the "Meritorious Certificate" by the army. Later, he became the research director of Motorola.
During the war, galvin was elected as the president of the Radio Manufacturers Association and led the organization of the radio industry to support the war. He resolutely opposed profiteering, and his company won a reputation for creativity and effectiveness during this period. Galvin manufacturing company has also changed. 194 1 year is still a small radio company, with only about 1000 employees and sales of about1000. From 194 1 to 1945, the total contract amount with the military is nearly 250 million US dollars. Established the leading position in the industry.
When the smoke of war was still spreading, galvin was already considering post-war construction. It is not enough to rely solely on military production. New things must be produced. He saw the market demand and desire for emerging folk industries and consumer goods. Therefore, in 1946, galvin manufacturing company allocated100000 USD for research and appointed more than 240 engineers to develop new technologies, products and production processes. 1947 galvin manufacturing company changed its name to "Motorola company" to respect this new era, and also to clearly mark the company's products with Motorola's well-known registered trademark.
Motorola began to use the experience of wartime mobile phones for commercial radio communication, and began to create novel and unique products. When its wireless pager came out, although the product was far from perfect, people who tried it were never willing to give up.
After World War II, television was officially released. Motorola is one of the founders of the TV industry. He introduced the first TV set with a price below $200. Galvin employees are not sure whether it will make money to sell TV sets at such a low price. Some people still doubt whether the new TV production line can meet the expected demand, but galvin is confident that the TV industry will become the largest and fastest sales production line for Motorola and the industry.
In 1960s, Motorola began to expand overseas markets. Since semiconductors became the basic electronic parts of industry and commerce, Motorola has greatly expanded its basic customer range, including all kinds of new industries, new uses and products all over the world, especially electronic computers, which has accelerated this expansion.
These advances have affected Motorola's products in the consumer, communication and automobile markets, and changed Motorola again. After World War II, Motorola played an important role in the military's most advanced electronic technology projects. 1958, the United States launched Explorer-1 unmanned artificial earth satellite, and Motorola provided wireless communication equipment; 1969, Motorola's device made people all over the world hear and witness the Apollo astronauts landing on the moon.
From its founding to today's giants, Motorola has created countless firsts: 1940, Motorola made the first hand-held wireless walkie-talkie for American soldiers, 1944, galvin manufacturing company installed the first wireless walkie-talkie system in taxis, 1947, and Motorola launched the first two-way dispatching radio in vehicles, 1947. Motorola launched the first commercial walkie-talkie 1973, showing the first feasible portable phone prototype 1982, the first hands-free car phone 1984, the first cellular folding mobile phone 1992 and the first wearable mobile phone 1984.
However, galvin's later achievements could not be seen, because he died of leukemia on 1959+654381October 5. As his successor, his son Bob galvin continued his unfinished dream and journey, and developed the family business better and more perfect.
