Pictured is the router which sent the 1st internet connection from NYC to Tokyo. These were sold out of a basement office of a home in Rahway NJ. It's signed by everyone who worked for Cisco Systems in 1989. It was given to my dad when he retired in 1999 for his work in establishing the internet.Submitted by TriggerTough t3_10kdpgl in newjersey

I remember my grandfather taking me to Bell Labs as a kid. He was on the fiber optic team. That place was so cool even back then, I'm glad Bellworks was able to repurpose the building instead of knocking it down
