Toshiba and Bellcore Team Up to Create the Future of Wireless Internet Communications.NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 17, 1999--Toshiba Corporation and Bellcore today announced the creation of a joint research and development project aimed at creating the technologies necessary for the integration of wireless and Internet communications. Results of the joint research program may transform communications in the 21st century by providing users with convenient wireless access to voice, video, data and multimedia services. The principal focus of the Toshiba-Bellcore joint research project is the development of the middleware layers necessary to achieve an Internet Protocol See Internet and TCP/IP. (networking) Internet Protocol - (IP) The network layer for the TCP/IP protocol suite widely used on Ethernet networks, defined in STD 5, RFC 791. IP is a connectionless, best-effort packet switching protocol. (IP) capable of working with all types of cellular transmission systems. The project will include the development of software to enable mobility with appropriate service quality, security, network operations and management, customer care systems, and applications support. The Toshiba-Bellcore collaboration, set to start next month, draws on the key competencies of the two companies -- Toshiba for its expertise in terminal and wireless technologies and Bellcore for its expertise in information networking software  This article is written like a personal reflection or and may require .Please [ improve this article] by rewriting this article in an . . The research project will be headquartered in Morristown, New Jersey Morristown is a town in Morris County, New Jersey, United States. As of the United States 2000 Census, the town population was 18,544. Its estimated population in 2004 was 18,842. It is the county seat of Morris CountyGR6. , and will be staffed with engineers from Bellcore and Toshiba America Research, Inc. (TARI), Toshiba's first U.S-based corporate-level research subsidiary. The establishment of TARI reflects the expansion and globalization globalization Process by which the experience of everyday life, marked by the diffusion of commodities and ideas, is becoming standardized around the world. Factors that have contributed to globalization include increasingly sophisticated communications and transportation of Toshiba's R&D activities in the field of IT technologies. Last August, Toshiba set up a Telecommunications Research Laboratory (TRL TRL In currencies, this is the abbreviation for the Turkish Lira. Notes: The currency market, also known as the Foreign Exchange market, is the largest financial market in the world, with a daily average volume of over US $1 trillion. ) in the U.K., which undertakes research in next-generation digital cellular phone and wireless access technologies. Both TRL and TARI work in close collaboration with Toshiba's central research labs at its corporate R&D Center in Japan. Toshikazu Kodama, president of TARI, noted: "Wireless Internet and Intranet connectivity is the next frontier for the information and communications industries. But there is much work to be done before a workable system can be implemented. We are confident that the combined strength of Toshiba and Bellcore engineering can solve the technological issues before us and lay the groundwork for what we predict will become a multi-billion-dollar market for communications hardware and network services within the next 10 years." "Through this unique relationship with Toshiba, Bellcore is looking forward to extending our capabilities in Next Generation Networking Next Generation Networking (NGN) is a broad term to describe some key architectural evolutions in telecommunication core and access networks that will be deployed over the next 5-10 years. into the wireless domain," said Richard Wolff Richard Wolff (born 12 June 1976 in Prague, Czech Republic)[1] is a motorcycle speedway who first rode in the UK for the Trelawny Tigers in the Premier League.
