From Drum to Cloud

The history you can touch…

The museum exhibition tells the story of the oldest means of transmitting information — whistling, gongs, bells, drums, fire signals, smoke, messengers, and carrier pigeons. The invention of the telephone is attributed to Alexander Graham Bell (1876). In March 1896, a telephone station began operating in Vilnius. In 1935, a 3,000-number automatic telephone exchange was launched in Klaipėda. Before World War II, Lithuania had 26,000 telephone subscribers. Today we use VoIP systems and cloud telephony — these quality services are successfully developed and provided in Lithuania by the international telecommunications company DIDWW.
