Telcordia Advanced Technology Solutions (ATS) business unit, a provider of research and innovation for the communications industry, has become a wholly owned subsidiary of Telcordia Technologies Inc., doing business under its new name: Applied Communication Sciences.
This corporate reorganization formally separates the former research and development strategic business unit from Telcordia to mitigate any regulatory concerns arising from Ericsson's recent acquisition of the company. Telcordia says the move ensures the continuity of product and service delivery to Telcordia ATS government clients, albeit under a new name.
Applied Communication Sciences will continue to deliver research and advanced network solutions, with an emphasis on cyber security and critical infrastructure protection (CIP), cyber integration and emergency preparedness for its key customers in the defense and intelligence communities, including the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), National Communications System (NCS) and U.S. Army Research Laboratory; as well as selected commercial providers.
"Applied Communication Sciences continues its long tradition from its Bell Labs origins of creating innovative technologies and services to solve the hardest, most complex information and communications problems," said Brent Greene, CEO, Applied Communication Sciences. "We will continue to bring together applied research, and consulting and engineering capabilities to help commercial enterprises and government agencies across the globe fully exploit the future of communications."
Brent Greene will oversee day-to-day operations of Applied Communication Sciences and will report to a newly formed and U.S. government-approved Proxy Board of Directors. Greene says the exceptional military, federal agency and commercial credentials of the Proxy Board will help ensure the continuity and reliability of the company's government business.
"The selection of our board was critical to demonstrate our long-term commitment to the government sector," said Greene.
