Brief
Franklin Kuo, a co-developer of ALOHAnet and an inspiration for Ethernet, died at 91; he helped pioneer random-access protocols and later assisted China’s early Internet efforts. IEEE obituaries also note Muhammad Rezaul Karim, Harry Bostic, Edwin Jones Jr., Alexander Spitzer, and Donald Dietmeyer, each recognized for contributions to telecommunications, education, neurology, and circuit design.
Why It Matters
Their work influenced key networking protocols, early cellular trials, engineering education, and technologies that underpin modern communications and diagnostics.
