Telcordia Technologies, formerly Bell Communications Research, Inc. or Bellcore, is a telecommunications research and development (R&D) company based in the United States and created on January 1 1984 as part of the 1982 Modification of Final Judgment that broke up the Bell System. Bellcore was a consortium established by the Regional Bell Operating Companies upon their separation from AT&T. Since AT&T retained Bell Laboratories, the operating companies wanted to have their own R&D facility. Bellcore provided joint R&D, standards setting, and centralized government point-of-contact functions for its co-owners, the seven Regional Holding Companies that were themselves divested from AT&T as holding companies for the 22 local Bell Operating Companies.

Bellcore's initial staff and corporate culture drew heavily from the nearby Bell Labs locations in northern New Jersey, plus additional staff from AT&T and the regional operating companies.

In 1997, the company was acquired by Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC). [Dr. J. Robert Beyster with Peter Economy, The SAIC Solution: How We Built an $8 Billion Employee-Owned Technology Company, John Wiley & Sons (2007) p.73] Since it no longer had any ownership connection with the Bell regional companies, the name was changed to Telcordia. Stake in the company was subsequently sold in November 2004 to Providence Equity Partners and Warburg Pincus, who currently both hold equal stakes in the company.

Telcordia is a chief architect of the telecommunications system in the U.S., and has pioneered many of the telecommunications services used today, including Caller ID, Call Waiting, Mobile number portability and Toll-free telephone number (800) service.
