It is a system that Granville T. Woods invented.
Samuel Morse was involved in the invention of the single wire telegraph system. This system was based on the European telegraph.
Granville Woods enhanced the telegraph by inventing the multiplex telegraph, which allowed multiple messages to be sent over a single wire simultaneously. This innovation significantly increased the efficiency of telegraph communication, enabling faster and more effective communication. Additionally, Woods developed the induction telegraph system, which improved the reliability and range of telegraphic transmissions. His contributions played a crucial role in advancing communication technology during the late 19th century.
The electrical telegraph system was not created until the 1800s. The closest thing to the telegraph in the 1700s was a visual semaphore system. The Morse system, using a telegraph key to send a system of dots and dashes (Morse Code) was patented in 1837.
Telegraph meaning is a system for transmitting messages from a distance along a wire
Three things Granville T. Woods invented were the steam boiler furnace, thee Synchronoud Multiplex Railway Telegraph, and telegraphony, the combination of the telegraph and the telephone. Granville Woods received over 60 patents. His major inventions included an improved telephone transmitter, an electrical apparatus for transmitting messages, an induction telegraph system, a galvanic battery, an automatic safety cut-out for electric currents, an electric railway supply system, a regulator for electric motors, an egg incubator, and an automatic air brake.

The difference is the telegraph required wires; the radio did not. But other then that, they were mostly the same.
