Extended information

The development cycle of DynaTAC 8000X exceeds 10 years. At that time, Martincooper, who was responsible for the research and development of Motorola's wireless field and was later revered as the father of mobile phones, appointed Krolopp as the project team leader to be responsible for the development of the world's first mobile phone.

There are always three names on the patent certificate of DynaTAC 8000X, Krolopp, Cooper and John Mitchell, the leader of Motorola's communications department at the time.

In December 1972, Kropper and his team were given six weeks to create a prototype of a mobile phone. The task was urgent because the Federal Communications Commission was considering whether to allow AT&T to establish a mobile network and provide wireless services in the US market. Moreover, AT&T also has its own mobile phone development plan.
