100 years of radio technology in Finland

Wireless technology is one of the areas where Finland is one of the top in the world. This is largely due to the fact that the first professor of radio technology in Finland, Viljo Ylöstalo, started working at the Radio Laboratory of the Helsinki University of Technology (TKK) back in 1924.

"Radio technology in Finland has already come a long and impressive way. Our Department of Electronics and Nanoengineering today represents teaching and research in the whole field of radio science, from microchips to nanosatellites in the sky. Although some of our research and teaching is very theoretical, our cooperation with companies has been very close for decades," says Ville Viikari, Head of the Department.

The professors and research and teaching staff of the Department of Electronics and Nanoengineering look back fondly on 100 years of radio engineering. We welcome alumni, staff, students and all those interested in the subject to hear interesting talks and network as part of the Winter Satellite Workshop on 22 January 2025 from 9.00 to 11.30 am.
