Marconi significantly increased the transmission range of his apparatus through the use of an elevated antenna and improved receiver sensitivity. He demonstrated that signals could be sent over hills, debunking the prevailing belief that wireless signals traveled only in straight lines.

Unable to secure support in Italy, Marconi traveled to England with his mother. He obtained British Patent No. 12039 for his wireless telegraphy apparatus in June 1896. This patent marked a crucial step in securing his intellectual property rights.

Marconi founded the Wireless Telegraph & Signal Company (later Marconi's Wireless Telegraph Company) in London. This company provided the infrastructure and resources needed to commercialize his invention. The British government was one of the early investors.

The first paid wireless telegraph message was sent from Bournemouth to London. This marked a significant step towards the commercial application of wireless communication and demonstrated its potential for practical use.

Marconi successfully established wireless communication across the English Channel, demonstrating the feasibility of international communication. This achievement garnered significant attention and further validated his invention.

Marconi secured patent No. 7777 for tuned or resonant circuits, which allowed for the selection of specific frequencies and significantly reduced interference between wireless signals. This was a major improvement that enabled multiple wireless stations to operate independently.
