Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
SEGMENT INFORMATION SEGMENT INFORMATION
We have two reportable segments: IoT Products & Services and IoT Solutions. Effective with the reorganization announcement on October 7, 2020 (see Note 13), our IoT Products & Services business is now structured to include four operating segments, each with a segment manager. There four operating segments include:
•Cellular Routers - box devices (fully enclosed) that provide connectivity typically in a place where the device can be plugged in exclusively using cellular communications.
•Console Servers - similar to cellular routers except they are exclusively for edge computing installments and date center applications exclusively using cellular communications.
•OEM Solutions - Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEM") will be a chip, rather than a boxed device. This can come in the form of a stand-alone chip, or from a system on modules ("SOMs"). While cellular is used, other communication protocols can be used such as Zigbee, Bluetooth or Radio-Frequency ("RF") based on application.
•Infrastructure Management - includes connect sensors that will be cellular enabled devices that are battery operated, as well as other types of console server applications that are more DAL based compared to Console Servers. They do have some products that are not using cellular communications, but a large part of the portfolio does use cellular communication.
We believe these four operating segments have similar qualitative and quantitative factors which allow us to aggregate them under the IoT Products & Services reportable segment. The qualitative factors include similar nature of products and services, production process, type or class of customers and methods used to distribute the products. The quantitative factors include similar operating income (loss). Our CODM reviews and makes business decisions which includes a primary review of operating income (loss) but also includes gross profit. Thus, our measure of segment measure of profit or loss used by our CODM changed. The shared general and administrative costs are now allocated to each operating segment. As a result, our disclosed measure of segment operating income (loss) has been updated for all periods presented. The change to the business segment operating income (loss) aligns with the update to how the CODM assesses performance and allocates resources for our business segments.
