It seems to have been coined around 1990 by Ted Rappaport while he was a professor at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia , alluding to his research program in Wireless communications and the location of Blacksburg between the Appalachians and the Blue Ridge Mountains . He later founded Wireless Valley® Communications , which trademarked the phrase "Wireless Valley" in the United States . Wireless Valley is also a nickname and an attempt to describe the cluster of companies in the Information Technology industry that are located in northern Stockholm , Sweden . This also included a number of companies that saw themselves as belonging to the new information based Economy . The nickname was based on an analogy to California 's Silicon Valley and reflected the hopes of trying to mimic that success. Ericsson , the worlds leading supplier in Telecommunications has one of its main design centers in the Stockholm suburb of Kista . Finland also has a high-tech area in Espoo , sometimes called "Wireless Valley", based around Nokia . |
