The Marconi Corporation was created in 1999 by the renaming of the General Electric Company (GEC), minus the Marconi Electronic Systems business. It should not be confused with the Marconi Company. The company dealt in computer services, computer network services, communication equipment, and computer network management services.[1]

In 2005 Marconi Corporation sold the bulk of its assets and its name to Swedish communications firm Ericsson in a deal worth about £1.2bn ($2.1bn). The deal saw Marconi's telecoms equipment business bought by Ericsson, leaving the UK firm with its services business, which was renamed Telent.[2]
