MARK OF A LEADER
Caxton’s moveable type
completely changed
English society
Ry merging computers
and telecommu meat ions,
Northern Telecom is
changing the way
the world communicates.
In 1475, when William Caxton
printed the first English book, he
started a quiet revolution. A free flow
of ideas makes constant change
inevitable.
Northern Telecom started its own
quiet revolution, one that’s also
radically changing the way ideas are
communicated. We were the first
company to design and produce a full
line of digital switching systems, the
telecommunications technology that
transmits both voice and data with
digital signals.
Our success convinced many
skeptics that digital communications
was truly the wave of the future. As
private and public digital networks
grow, an international web of
integrated voice and data
communication is gradually being
created. Instantaneous access to
global data banks is becoming
a reality.
Today Northern Telecom is a
world leader in digital switching
systems, in related technologies —
fiber optics, large-scale integrated
circuits — and in electronic
office systems.
impii
only the beginning. We’re looking for
imaginative, talented people to be a
part of our growth. If you want a
career that combines stability,
creativity, and limitless opportunity,
we’d like to talk with you.
You can make your mark in the
Intelligent Universe.
