BBN (Since acquired by GTE, Verizon, Raytheon Intelligence & Space), has been legendarily providing advanced technology research and development for more than 70 years. From the ARPANET (precursor to the internet), to inventing the first person-to-person email, pioneered the use of the @ sign in an email address, the first metro network protected by quantum cryptography, solving critical problems from undersea to deep space. BBN has been a leading-edge networking solutions, notable advances in a wide variety of fields, including acoustics, computer technologies, quantum information, and synthetic biology. Led the standardization effort for the security extension to the Border Gateway Protocol (BGPsec), mobile ad hoc networks, advanced speech recognition, the military's Boomerang mobile shooter detection system, cognitive radio spectrum, the world's first quantum key distribution network, the DARPA Quantum Network, the world's first fully operational prototype of a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector. BBN also led the Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI) project for the National Science Foundation, which ultimately built out programmable "future Internet" infrastructure across approximately 60 university campuses.I/T Manager
