In June and July 1923, Marconi's [[shortwave]] transmissions were completed during nights on 97 meters from [[Poldhu|Poldhu Wireless Station]], [[Cornwall]], to his yacht [[Elettra (ship)|Elettra]] in the [[Cape Verde|Cape Verde Islands]]. In September 1924, Marconi transmitted during daytime and nighttime on 32 meters from Poldhu to his yacht in [[Beirut]]. Marconi, in July 1924, entered into contracts with the British General Post Office (GPO) to install telegraphy circuits from London to Australia, India, South Africa and Canada as the main element of the [[Imperial Wireless Chain]]. The UK-to-Canada shortwave "''[[Beam Wireless Service]]''" went into commercial operation on 25 October 1926. Beam Wireless Services from the UK to Australia, South Africa and India went into service in 1927. Electronic components for the system were built at Marconi's New Street wireless factory in [[Chelmsford]].<ref>[http://homepages.tesco.net/~martin.batesuk/marconi/sections_added_1912-1980.htm The Marconi company Departments 1912 - 1970] Martin Bates, accessed 2010-10-04</ref>

Shortly after the turn of the 20th century, the US Patent Office re-awarded Marconi a patent for radio. The {{US patent|RE11913}} was granted on June 4, 1901. Marconi's {{US patent|676332}} was awarded on June 11, 1901, also. This system was more advanced than his previous works. In 1943, a lawsuit regarding Marconi's early United States radio patents
