Reginald Fessenden

Reginald Fessenden was a Canadian-American inventor and engineer who played a key role in the development of early radio technology. In 1906, he made the first successful audio broadcast, transmitting music and speech over radio waves for others to hear remotely. Unlike earlier wireless signals that just sent Morse code, Fessenden's work paved the way for voice and music transmission, laying the foundation for modern radio and communication systems. His innovations revolutionized how people share information across distances, making him a crucial figure in the history of electronic communication.
