In the early 1990s, when pagers were in their heyday, the Motorola Advisor was the pager of choice.
The first paging systems were introduced in the 1950s, but pagers came into widespread use only in the 1980s, when wireless technology got good enough to make them easy to use.
At the time, Motorola was practically synonymous with wireless communications technology. The early pagers were far smaller, lighter, and more portable than the cellular phones of the day, which were called bricks for good reason. Typical pager customers wore the devices on their hips and worked in medicine, emergency care, and other quick-response professions. It is is an iconic piece of wearable technology.
