Alfred J. Gross (February 22, 1918 – December 21, 2000), a.k.a. Irving J. Gross was a pioneer in mobile wireless communication. He created and patented many communications devices, specifically in relation to an early version of the walkie-talkie, Citizens' Band radio[1] the telephone pager[2]and the cordless telephone. Despite the successes of these inventions, his patents expired too early to make any amount of money from them.
