Trading Stocks on the Beach

All big achievements start with big dreams.  In the late 1960s, the company’s founder envisioned a communications system that would allow him to trade stocks while sitting on the beach — quite ambitious in a time when analog cellular phones were not yet available.  A few years later in 1972, the predecessor company to InterDigital was incorporated.

As the founder’s vision evolved, InterDigital has remained a pioneer in advancing the wireless industry - meeting challenges before others even recognize them. When the rest of the world was working on analog, we were developing digital. When everyone focused on voice, we were working on data. While others pursued narrowband, we were demonstrating broadband. And as most companies are just beginning to wonder where 3G, WiMAX and WiFi will go in the future, we are already delivering harmonizing solutions for seamless mobility between all standards. InterDigital - always a step ahead of the pack.
