SEGMENT INFORMATION AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS
We have a single operating and reporting segment.  Our revenues consist of products that are in non-embedded and embedded product categories.  Non-embedded products are connected externally to a device or larger system to provide wired or wireless network connectivity or port expansion, while embedded products are used by a product developer to build an electronic device in which the product provides processing power, wired Ethernet, or wireless network connectivity to that device.  The products included in the non-embedded product category include cellular products, wireless communication adapters, console and serial servers, USB connected products and serial cards.  The products included in the embedded product category include modules, single-board computers, chips, software and development tools, design services and satellite communication products.
