What products does ADC sell?

We are a leading global provider of communications network infrastructure solutions and services. Our products and services provide connections for communications networks over copper, fiber, coaxial and wireless media and enable the use of high-speed Internet, data, video and voice services by residences, businesses and mobile communications subscribers. Our products include fiber optic, copper and coaxial based frames, cabinets, cables, connectors, cards and other physical components essential to enable the delivery of communications for wireline, wireless, cable, and broadcast networks by service providers and enterprises. Our products also include network access devices such as high-bit-rate digital subscriber line and wireless coverage solutions. Our products primarily are used in the "last mile/kilometer" portion of networks. This network of copper, coaxial cable, fiber lines, wireless facilities and related equipment links voice, video and data traffic from the end-user of the communications service to the serving office of our customer. In addition, we provide professional services relating to the design, equipping and building of networks. The provision of such services also allows us additional opportunities to sell our hardware products, thereby complementing our hardware business.

Our customers include local and long-distance telephone service providers, private enterprises that operate their own networks, cable television operators, wireless service providers, new competitive service providers, broadcasters, governments, system integrators and communications equipment manufacturers and distributors.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, we made certain organizational changes that have eliminated the use of a management structure based on a business and geographical matrix. Primarily as a result of these changes, we have changed our reportable segments, as described below. These changes conform to our current management reporting presentation. We have reclassified prior year segment disclosures to conform to the new segment presentation.

  • Our Broadband Infrastructure and Access business segment has been redefined into three reportable segments — Global Connectivity Solutions, Wireless Solutions and Wireline Solutions.
  • In the prior periods, our business unit level reports presented results through contribution margin. Our current reporting presents fully allocated business unit results through operating income.
  • We have eliminated reporting at the regional level.

As a result, we offer broadband connectivity products, wireless capacity and coverage optimization products, wireline access products and professional services to our customers through the following four reportable business segments:

  • Connectivity
  • Wireless
  • Wireline
  • Professional Services
Our Connectivity solutions connect wireline, wireless, cable, enterprise and broadcast communications networks over copper (twisted pair), coaxial, fiber-optic and wireless media. These products provide the physical interconnections between network components and access points into networks.

Our Wireless solutions help improve and extend the coverage and capacity of wireless communications networks. These products improve signal quality by boosting the uplink signal of mobile systems to increase receiver performance. These improvements allow mobile subscribers to place more calls successfully, make longer calls, and successfully complete calls in an expanded geographic area.

Our Wireline solutions enable communications service providers to deliver high capacity voice and data services over copper or optical facilities in the "last mile/kilometer" of communications networks, while integrating functions and capabilities that help reduce the capital and operating costs of delivering such services.

Our Professional Services business provides integration services for broadband, multiservice communications over wireline, wireless, cable and enterprise networks. Professional services are used to plan, deploy and maintain communications networks that deliver Internet, data, video and voice services.
