Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company's significant estimates include stock-based compensation and reserves related to accounts receivable, inventories and deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (b) Earnings (loss) Per Share Earnings (loss) per share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260 "Earnings Per Share," which provides for the calculation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the effect of potential issuances of common shares. The following table shows the calculation of diluted shares using the treasury stock method: Three months ended 2020 2019 Weighted average shares used in computation of basic earnings (loss) per shares 9,766 9,506 Total dilutive effect of stock options - 570 Weighted average shares used in computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share 9,766 10,076 The diluted share base excludes the following potential common shares due to their antidilutive effect: Three months ended 2020 2019 Stock options 2,882 1,752 (c) Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases Topic 842 Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other Topic 350 Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses ("Topic 326" (d) Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Effective In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes "Topic 740" (e) Liquidity and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic which continues to spread throughout the United States. On March 21, 2020 the Governor of New Jersey declared a health emergency and issued an order to close all nonessential businesses until further notice. As a maker of telecommunication equipment, the Company is deemed to be an essential business. Nonetheless, out of concern for our workers and pursuant to the government order, the Company has reduced the scope of its operations and where possible, certain workers are telecommuting from their homes. While the Company expects this matter to negatively impact its results of operations, cash flows and financial position, the related impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. As disclosed in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company experienced a decline in sales, a reduction in working capital, a loss from operations and net cash used in operating activities, in conjunction with liquidity constraints. The above factors raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. As of March 31, 2020, the above factors still exist. Accordingly, there still exists substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. In response to lower than expected sales due to a slowdown in market activities experienced during the prior fiscal year, the Company implemented a multi-phase cost-reduction program during 2019 which is expected to reduce annualized expenses by approximately $2,000, including a decrease in workforce and a decrease in other operating expenses. The Company's primary sources of liquidity are its existing cash balances, cash generated from operations and the amounts available under the MidCap Facility (as such terms are defined in Note 5 below). As of March 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $3,070 outstanding under the MidCap Facility (as defined in Note 5 below) and $347 of additional availability for borrowing under the MidCap Facility. As previously announced, on April 7, 2020, the Company and MidCap agreed to amend the terms of the MidCap Facility to remove the $400 availability block. Removal of the block is subject to certain conditions, including the Company securing additional debt or equity financing of at least $500. The Company has obtained financing that meets the requirements for removal of the block. See Note 11 – Subsequent Events for additional information regarding the amendment of the MidCap Facility and the financing. If anticipated operating results are not achieved and/or the Company is unable to obtain additional financing, it may be required to take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve its cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations and meet its obligations, which measures could have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to achieve its intended business objectives and may be insufficient to enable the Company to continue as a going concern.

Liquidity	(e) Liquidity and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic which continues to spread throughout the United States. On March 21, 2020 the Governor of New Jersey declared a health emergency and issued an order to close all nonessential businesses until further notice. As a maker of telecommunication equipment, the Company is deemed to be an essential business. Nonetheless, out of concern for our workers and pursuant to the government order, the Company has reduced the scope of its operations and where possible, certain workers are telecommuting from their homes. While the Company expects this matter to negatively impact its results of operations, cash flows and financial position, the related impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. As disclosed in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company experienced a decline in sales, a reduction in working capital, a loss from operations and net cash used in operating activities, in conjunction with liquidity constraints. The above factors raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. As of March 31, 2020, the above factors still exist. Accordingly, there still exists substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. In response to lower than expected sales due to a slowdown in market activities experienced during the prior fiscal year, the Company implemented a multi-phase cost-reduction program during 2019 which is expected to reduce annualized expenses by approximately $2,000, including a decrease in workforce and a decrease in other operating expenses. The Company's primary sources of liquidity are its existing cash balances, cash generated from operations and the amounts available under the MidCap Facility (as such terms are defined in Note 5 below). As of March 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $3,070 outstanding under the MidCap Facility (as defined in Note 5 below) and $347 of additional availability for borrowing under the MidCap Facility. As previously announced, on April 7, 2020, the Company and MidCap agreed to amend the terms of the MidCap Facility to remove the $400 availability block. Removal of the block is subject to certain conditions, including the Company securing additional debt or equity financing of at least $500. The Company has obtained financing that meets the requirements for removal of the block. See Note 11 – Subsequent Events for additional information regarding the amendment of the MidCap Facility and the financing. If anticipated operating results are not achieved and/or the Company is unable to obtain additional financing, it may be required to take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve its cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations and meet its obligations, which measures could have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to achieve its intended business objectives and may be insufficient to enable the Company to continue as a going concern.
