Scope: In his revolutionary experiments of 1895, Marconi achieved transmission of coded radio signals over distances up to 2 km. Six years later, he succeeded in the first transmission of telegraphic signals across the Atlantic from Cornwall to Newfoundland. The century that followed has seen the introduction of many new electronic communications services. In order to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Marconi's remarkable achievement, and to open the second century of electronic communication, the New York State Center for Advanced Technology in Telecommunications is organizing a symposium devoted to the technology of multimedia communications.
