The decrease in net sales for the segment reflects a decline in North America, Latin America, and EMEA, and an increase in Asia.

The segment s backlog was $782 million at December 31, 2012, compared to $875 million at December 31, 2011. The decline in backlog is primarily related to the anticipated decline in iDEN infrastructure and reduced information technology spending driven by macroeconomic uncertainty.
