First land based wireless mobile: 1901![]() "In 1901 Marconi placed a radio aboard a Thornycroft steam powered truck, thus producing the first land based wireless mobile. (Transmitting data, of course, and not voice.) Arthur C. Clarke says the vehicle's cylindrical antenna was lowered to a horizontal position before the the wagon began moving. Marconi never envisioned his system broadcasting voices, he always thought of radio as a wireless telegraph."
