Inventory Disclosure [Abstract]

Inventories

4. Inventories

Inventories consist primarily of telecommunications systems and parts, and are recorded at the lower of cost (average cost) or market. We evaluate the need for write-downs associated with obsolete, slow-moving, and nonsalable inventory by reviewing net realizable inventory values on a periodic basis.

Inventories as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, all of which were included within the BA segment, were as follows (in thousands):

		September 30,				December 31,
		2017				2016
Work-in-process component parts		$	37,462			$	39,150
Finished goods			11,159				11,116
Total inventory		$	48,621			$	50,266
