The wireless messaging unit will continue to develop and manufacture paging and narrowband personal communications services systems and products. Jim Marion has been appointed president and general manager of the wireless messaging unit.
The voice systems division and the recently acquired CNET will join to form the integrated network group. Headed by Dan Case, this group will provide enhanced applications and systems support products to the enhanced service markets including cellular and PCS.
