SOLUTIONS
SEGMENT
Try talking about safety and security without
mentioning information and communication – you
can’t do it. The same goes for quality, productivity
and efficiency. It’s all about collecting information,
analyzing it and getting it in the hands of the right
people at the right time. That’s what we do for
businesses and governments around the world.
We are a big part of bringing information and
communication together to meet mission-critical
requirements, making work teams better at what
they do.
Today we’re the leading provider of integrated radio
communications and information solutions for public
safety, government and enterprise. And we’re the
only provider that can offer systems that work with
both of the private digital radio communication
standards – Project 25 and TETRA.
In 2002, w e maintained our leading market share
in a difficult market that included large system
procurement delays by government customers in
North America, as Homeland Security programs
are still being finalized. Recognizing that pressure
on sales would be with us throughout the year, we
focused on reducing our cost structure. At the same
time, w e received the prestigious M alcolm Baldrige
National Quality Aw ard from the U.S. government for
performance excellence and quality achievement.
Sales for the Commercial, Government and
Industrial Solutions Segment (CGISS) in 2002 were
$3.7 billion, compared to $4.3 billion in 2001. The
sales decline was primarily due to the sale of the
segment’s Integrated Information Systems Group
during 2001 as well as the industry condition
described above. For 2002, CGISS reported operating
earnings of $313 million, presented on a GAAP basis,
versus operating earnings of $52 million a year
ago. Excluding special items and exited businesses,
CGISS reported operating earnings of $361 million,
compared with operating earnings of $350 million
a year ago.
In 2003, we look for sales growth to return as a
result of increased demand for integrated and
interoperable voice, data and broadband wireless
systems at all government levels related to Homeland
Security and continued migration from analog to
digital two-way radio communication systems.
