FAQ About Hedy Lamarr

How did Hedy Lamarr's invention pave the way for modern GPS technology?
Hedy Lamarr's invention of frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology provided a secure way for communication systems to transmit signals. This technology helped pave the way for modern GPS systems by enabling precise, reliable, and interference-resistant location tracking capabilities. GPS relies on the ability to maintain strong, secure connections with satellites, a function well-supported by the principles of frequency-hopping initially envisioned by Lamarr and George Antheil.
