In 1971, BBN's principal scientist [[Ray Tomlinson]] experimented and hacked the File Transfer Protocol ([[FTP]]) called CPYNET with two other SNDMSG/READMAIL programs that were developed for time sharing systems but they do not have the capability to transmit message from one computer to another. Tomlinson experiment was successful and he was able to transfer messages from his Cambridge lab computer to another. He emailed his group announcing the development and instructions on how to use the first network e-mail.<ref>[http://www.bbn.com/about/timeline/email The First E-mail, A Neat Idea]</ref>

Over the years BBN made significant developments in computing research which include:<ref>[http://www.bbn.com/about/timeline/ BBN Timeline]</ref>
* Wideband Packet-Switched Satellite System
* TENEX- first virtual memory operating system for DEC computers
* INTERLISP - a list processing programming language important for the artificial intelligence research was initially developed
* Private Line Interface (PLI)- an encryption developed used to secure the messages sent through a packet switch network which was demonstrated in the ARPANET. An advance version, the Internet Private Line Interface (IPLI) was created to protect secret traffic across unsecured IP packet networks
* TELENET- was launched as a subsidiary to provide commercial network service
* TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)
* Internet Routers
* Black-Crypto-Red (BCR)- first IP-based network encryption system and packet encryption system used to implement remote re-keying and dynamic access control
* Butterfly, the first parallel processor
* Butterfly, the first parallel processor
* SIMNET (Simulation Network)- microcomputer-based combat vehicle simulators were interconnected on a common network
