The Shannon-Hartley theorem is composed of work from Claude Shannon of MIT in the 1940s (C. E. Shannon (1949/1998). The Mathematical Theory of Communication. Urbana, IL: University of Illinois Press) and Ralph Hartley from Bell Labs in the 1920s (R. V. L. Hartley (July 1928). "Transmission of Information" (PDF). Bell System Technical Journal). Foundational work was developed by Harry Nyquist, also of Bell Labs, who determined the maximum number of pulses (or bits) that could travel in a telegraph in a unit of time (H.
