100 years of communication

A hundred years ago, everything changed. Suddenly it was possible to communicate at lightning speed with people far, far away. Then via a gigantic facility, equipped with the Alexanderson transmitter that sent Morse code. Now with smartphones and 5G. Back then it was about declarations of love and death sentences. Today about viral film clips and emojis with AI as company. The world’s last Alexanderson transmitter is at Grimeton Radiostation, Varberg. In 2004, the site was designated a World Heritage Site because this is the best place in the entire world to experience and understand the evolution of wireless communications. This unique place is important for all of humanity, and the future, so by managing, using and developing it together, we contribute to a better and kinder world.
