The Marconi wireless telegraph was one of the focal points in the Titanic sinking. It was used and operated by the Marconi Company, and as such was used primarily for sending messages for passengers than for ship operations. Six ice warning messages were sent prior to the night of the sinking, but only the first two were relayed to Captain Smith. The rest were ignored as the wireless operators were tying to keep up with the backlog of messages.
After Titanic struck the iceberg, the wireless operators were then tasked to send out distress messages. They initially sent out the distress signal "CQD". Operator Harold Bride then suggested to the other operator Jack Phillips to use the newer distress signal "SOS". They managed to contact a number of ships, with the RMS Carpathia being the closest to the ship. The SS Californian was even closer, but their lone operator had turned in for the night, leaving his telegraph unmanned.

However, after the Titanic sank people became aware of the value of having the new invention onboard as it had saved countless lives. It was through the use of the Marconi that the Titanic was able to send SOS signals to other ships, and it was because of the Marconi that the Carpathia was able to travel to the location where the Titanic sank to pick up survivors. The stock skyrocketed because after the sinking many ships had this new technology installed.
