Philipp Reis
Philipp Reis was a German inventor and pioneer in the field of telecommunications, best known for his early work on the telephone. In 1861, he developed a device that could transmit sound through electrical signals, which he referred to as the 'telephone.' Despite his contributions, Reis's work has often been overshadowed by Alexander Graham Bell, who secured the patent for the telephone in 1876. Reis's inventions laid the groundwork for future innovations in communication technology.
