Editing L3 Technologies (section)

=== Naming ===
L3 Technologies was originally named L-3 Communications for the last initials of its founders Frank Lanza, Robert LaPenta, and [[Lehman Brothers]]. Despite the similarity in naming, there is no corporate connection between L3 Technologies, formerly known as L-3 Communications, and networking provider [[Level 3 Communications]], whose name is often abbreviated "L3" in informal industry communication.

On December 31, 2016, the company changed its name from L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc. to L3 Technologies, Inc. to better reflect the company's wider focus since its founding in 1997. The company's website changed from L-3com.com to L3T.com, but the company's [[New York Stock Exchange|NYSE]] ticker symbol of LLL remained the same.<ref>{{cite press release|title=L-3 Communications to Change Name to L3 Technologies, Inc.|url=http://www.l-3com.com/press-release/l-3-communications-change-name-l3-technologies-inc|publisher=L-3 Communications, Inc.|date=December 6, 2016|access-date=December 6, 2016|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161215152520/http://www.l-3com.com/press-release/l-3-communications-change-name-l3-technologies-inc|archive-date=December 15, 2016|df=mdy-all}}</ref>
