ArrayComm, a developer of broadband mobile and smart antenna technologies, appointed Sam Endy as President and CEO. He succeeds wireless industry pioneer Martin Cooper, who will continue to serve as ArrayComm’s chairman of the board. Dr. Endy was previously Chief Operating Officer of ArrayComm and played an instrumental role in the technology and market development stages for ArrayComm’s flagship products — the iBurst Personal Broadband system and IntelliCell, ArrayComm’s patented smart antenna array processing techniques. Previously, he served as VP of Operations at Sprint, where he was responsible for the activation and operation of Sprint’s 20,000 mile U.S. fiber network, 42 switching centers, and initiation of international service.
Martin Cooper is credited with making the first public telephone call using a portable cellular phone. In April 1973, Cooper was general manager of Motorola’s Communications Systems Division. That first call was placed to Cooper’s rival at AT&T’s Bell Labs from the streets of New York City.
