Didn't have to start off with wireless radio, could just tinker with pure wires and Morse code... Much better than snail mail, especially if it has to use something other than electricity.
Thanks for the update!

Lots of ways to get communication going, magic should sidestep a lot of the issues but at it's most basic you can just pulse light/radio and convert.
I think he's going for something closer to walkie talkies here though.
Something to keep in mind, aside from the current obscurity anything he builds will send in the clear so anyone with their stuff tuned to the correct channel will be able to hear it. Which may or may not be an issue depending on intended usage.

lots of different ways to transmit information from one location to another, and radio is basically an energy sink, because the further you are away from a emission source the less signal gets received (inverse square law) which reminds me of the "Fresnel lens" which made lighthouses significantly more reliable by focusing the light into a tighter beam...
Long story short, radio is for either multiple listeners or moving/unknown listener location, but if it's for specific locations, like Canterlot Castle, physical lines or directed beams are significantly more efficient
I wonder if he's going to share his newfound wealth with the orphanage, since it seems he doesn't have too much to spend it in besides materials for his experiments.

Thank you for your help as always.

Yes, he could send information in another way but a few things to keep in mind. One he does not want to mess with the world too much as we know many dangerous things are coming to equestria and equis at large so changing to much especially before canon even starts is not something he wants but he also wants to improve equestria so he's making things that are less dangerous for the public like a reusable light or healing magic as both are hard to misuse.
And second, he doesn't want the knowledge form his old world being known here as is this world someone or somepony with the right knowledge can use it to break the laws of the universe so if someone learned the theory behind something like a nuclear bomb, they may be able to make something similar without the technology needed meaning even something mundane to him could be very dangerous in other hands.
I hope that answered your questions and thank you for reading. :D

yeah, I understand that, I was just thinking that it would be much easier and more effective for his goal to have something more like a signal lamps that ships used to use, where you have a transmitter that has to be pointed towards the receiver, rather than just spewing out the signal in all directions, or some way to link to devices that are a long distance away from each other, but yeah, I can definitely see how having even simple telegraph lines, even just on main rail lines, would change things, let alone the "discovery" of electricity and things like that... and as for nuclear bombs, unless they're at war, they wouldn't even need to think about making regular bombs, let alone anything like that

You make a good point with the signal lamps and your right that it would probably be more effective. But this world has magic and while technology has some limitations that are hard or impossible to get around magic breaks the laws of reality so that opens some new possibilities.
And as for nukes no I don't think equestria needs or wants them, but they do have enemies some very despite or less then mentally stable that might get some funny ideas so better safe then sorry.
Also thank you for the interesting perspective on the story I swear you guys come up with things I never think of when writing and I love that.
Neat
It would be interesting to see if his mom comes back to her some now that he is rich.

I think a telegraph line would be the easiest long-distance communication device to invent. It's simply sending bursts of energy through a line using code and then solving the code to get the message. It doesn't require an advanced knowledge of technology or physics to make work, and it's something that would work with or without magic. Simple electricity would do it
I like the World Building a lot :D
