Bell Labs History
More than any other single
institution, Bell Laboratories has helped weave the technological fabric of
modern society. Since its founding in 1925, Bell Labs technology has shaped the
ways people live, work and play. In fact, the technologies created by Bell Labs
are so pervasive they are nearly invisible.
The countless millions of transistors quietly laboring behind the scenes in the
workplace, in homes, cars, banks, gas pumps, stores, telephone and computer
networks - just about everywhere - are all descended from the first transistors
invented here between 1947 and 1952. And all digital communication of sound,
images, and data - whether on telephone wires, in optical fibers, through the
atmosphere, or between a PC's processor and its memory - rests on mathematical
foundations of information theory laid here in the late 1940s.
Indeed, today's global economy rests on an infrastructure of networking,
computing and software technology, much of which was invented and developed by
Bell Labs. Some of the other important technological milestones of our age that
were placed by Bell Labs include: stereo recording, sound motion pictures, the
first long-distance TV transmission, the first fax machine, the touch-tone
phone, several generations of modems, communications satellites, lasers, solar
cells, cellular telephony, lightwave communication systems, and software that
operates, maintains and manages some of the most sophisticated public and
private communications networks in the world.
The Bell Labs-developed Unix operating system made large-scale networking of
diverse computing systems - and thus the Internet - practical; C and C++ are the
world's most widely used programming languages. Bell Labs software is a key
enabler of communications services, providing thousands of features in Lucent's
switches and network elements; Bell Labs-developed network management and
operations systems support billions of phone calls and data connections each
day.
Eleven scientists have received the Nobel Prize for their work at Bell Labs;
nine have received the U.S. National Medal of Science. Bell Labs was the first
institution to receive the U.S. National Medal of Technology, which also has
been awarded to eight individuals for their contributions at Bell Labs. Twelve
have received Japan's prestigious Computers and Communications Prize. Four have
received the ACM's Turing Award for major, lasting contributions to computing,
and four have received the ACM's Software System Award. Countless other
distinctions in many disciplines have been conferred on Bell Labs people - by
authorities throughout the world - in recognition of their leadership in science
and technology.
Through three-quarters of the 20th century, the Bell Labs R&D community made
epochal scientific discoveries, created powerful new technologies, and built the
world's most advanced and reliable networks. Today, guided by both experience
and vision, this creative force is helping service providers build and manage
broadband, multi-service networks for the 21st century.
