Pretty close Safado. The original invention was called "Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum Radio Transmission. It was developed by Hedy and her composer neighbor George Antheil to play musical instruments simultaneously. They took it to the Navy in 1941 to make radio controlled torpedo's harder to detect and jam. The original used a piano roll with 88 frequencies. It was not adopted but later used in 1962 in the Cuban Blockade. By then the patient had expired. Hedy sued and the theory became noticed by a Canadian telephone company. She got royalties and became the bases of how Cell Phones Work. I was taught this in NY Tel, when the wireless network was developed in the 70's.

He is ignorant...-
