Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting Under common operational management, the Company designs, develops, manufactures and markets its navigation, guidance and stabilization and mobile communications products for use in a wide variety of applications. Products are generally sold directly to third-party consumer electronic dealers and retailers, original equipment manufacturers, government contractors or to U.S. and other foreign government agencies. Primarily, sales originating in the Americas consist of sales within the United States and Canada and, to a lesser extent, Mexico and some Latin and South American countries. The Americas’ sales also include all guidance and stabilization product sales throughout the world. Sales originating from the Company’s European and Asian subsidiaries principally consist of sales into all European countries, both inside and outside the European Union, as well as Africa, Asia/Pacific, the Middle East and India. The Company operates in two geographic segments, exclusively in the mobile communications, navigation and guidance and stabilization equipment industry, which it considers to be a single business activity. The Company has two primary product categories: mobile communications and guidance and stabilization. Mobile communication sales and services include marine, land mobile, automotive, and satellite-based voice, television and Broadband Internet connectivity services. Mobile communications services sales also include our distribution of premium news, sports, movies and music content for commercial and leisure customers in the maritime, hotel, and retail markets via Headland Media Limited, the media and entertainment service company we acquired on May 11, 2013. Guidance and stabilization sales and services include sales of defense-related navigation and guidance and stabilization equipment based upon digital compass and fiber optic sensor technology. Mobile communication and guidance and stabilization sales also include development contract revenue, product repairs and extended warranty sales. The following table summarizes information regarding the Company’s operations by geographic segment:
