Hedy Lamarr, an Austrian-American actress and inventor, co-developed a frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology during World War II, originally intended to secure military communications. Along with composer George Antheil, she created a mechanism that would prevent radio-controlled torpedoes from being jammed by changing frequencies in a synchronized manner. Though their invention was not adopted by the military at the time, it laid the groundwork for modern wireless communications, including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technologies.
