Volta Laboratory

The Volta Laboratory was a research facility established in the early 20th century by inventor Alexander Graham Bell and his associates. Located in Washington, D.C., it focused on developing and improving telephone technology and related communication devices. The lab served as a hub for innovative work in telecommunications, contributing to advances that enhanced long-distance and acoustic communication. Bell's vision was to improve human connection through technological progress, and the laboratory played a key role in pioneering methods and devices that furthered the development of the modern telephone system.
