Business Segments | Note 7. Business Segments The Company evaluates its business within two segments: commercial and retail. The commercial segment consists of the following customer markets: (1) public carriers, that are generally responsible for building and maintaining the infrastructure system and provide airtime service to individual subscribers; and (2) integrators and value-added resellers, which is a newly identified market within our internal structure resulting from the Company’s recent implementation of an enhanced go-to-market strategy and the consolidation of our previously identified value-added resellers, government channels and private system operator markets. This new strategy and the corresponding consolidation of these customer markets is expected to increase sales opportunities across the consolidated group as well as provide better coverage to customers and better align territories with supplier partners. In conjunction with our identification of the integrators and value-added resellers as a newly identified market, as described above, market revenue and gross profit as reported for the prior periods reflected in this Quarterly Report on Form 10 Q have been reclassified accordingly. The retail segment consists of the retail market which includes retailers, independent dealer agents and carriers. To provide investors with better visibility, the Company also discloses revenue and gross profit by its four product categories: · Base station infrastructure products are used to build, repair and upgrade wireless telecommunications systems. Products include base station antennas, cable and transmission lines, small towers, lightning protection devices, connectors, power systems, miscellaneous hardware, and mobile antennas. Base station infrastructure service offerings include connector installation, custom jumper assembly, site kitting and logistics integration. · Network systems products are used to build and upgrade computing and internet networks. Products include fixed and mobile broadband equipment, distributed antenna systems (DAS), wireless networking, filtering systems, two-way radios and security and surveillance products. This product category also includes training classes, technical support and engineering design services. · Installation, test and maintenance products are used to install, tune, maintain and repair wireless communications equipment. Products include sophisticated analysis equipment and various frequency, voltage- and power-measuring devices, as well as an assortment of tools, hardware, GPS, safety and replacement and component parts and supplies required by service technicians. · Mobile device accessories include cellular phone and data device accessories such as replacement batteries, cases, speakers, mobile amplifiers, power supplies, headsets, mounts, car antennas, music accessories and data and memory cards.
