Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
SEGMENT INFORMATION AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS
SEGMENT INFORMATION AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS
We have two reportable operating segments for purposes of ASC 280-10-50 “Segment Reporting”: (i) IoT Products & Services (formerly "M2M") segment, and (ii) IoT Solutions (formerly "Solutions") segment. This determination was made by considering both qualitative and quantitative information. The qualitative information included, but was not limited to, the following: the nature of the products and services and customers differ between the two segments, the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is reviewing both segments’ operating results separately and makes decisions about the allocation of resources, and discrete financial information is available through operating income (loss) for both segments. Our segments are described below:
IoT Products & Services
Our IoT Products & Services segment is composed of the following communications products and development services:
Cellular routers and gateways;
Radio frequency ("RF") which include our Digi XBee® modules as well as other RF solutions;
Embedded products include Digi Connect® and Rabbit® embedded systems on module and single board computers;
Network products, which has the highest concentration of mature products, including console and serial servers and USB connected products;
Digi Wireless Design Services;
Digi Remote Manager®; and
Digi Support Services which offers various levels of technical services for development assistance, consulting and training.
IoT Solutions
Our IoT Solutions segment offers wireless temperature and other condition-based monitoring services as well as employee task management services. These solutions are focused on three primary vertical markets: healthcare (including retail pharmacies), food service and transportation/logistics. The solutions are marketed as SmartSense by Digi, formerly Digi Smart Solutions. We have formed, expanded and enhanced the IoT Solutions segment through four acquisitions. These include: the October 2015 acquisition of Bluenica Corporation ("Bluenica"), the November 2016 acquisition of FreshTemp®, LLC ("FreshTemp®"), the January 2017 acquisition of SMART Temps®, LLC ("SMART Temps®") and the October 2017 acquisition of TempAlert, LLC ("TempAlert").
We measure our segment results primarily by reference to revenue and operating income. IoT Solutions revenue includes both product and service revenue. Certain costs incurred at the corporate level are allocated to our segments. These costs include information technology, employee benefits and shared facility services. The information technology and shared facility costs are allocated based on headcount and the employee benefits costs are allocated based on compensation costs.
