On 17 October 1907, Guglielmo Marconi’s pioneering company marked a historic moment by launching the first commercial transatlantic wireless service, connecting Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada, and Clifden, Ireland.

This breakthrough in radio technology significantly shrank the vast Atlantic, enabling real-time communication between Europe and North America for the first time.

With this feat, Marconi bridged not only geographical gaps but also ushered in a new era of global connectivity, laying the foundation for modern wireless communication systems that would forever change the landscape of international correspondence and trade.
