TECHNOLOGY HARDWARE AND EQUIPMENT
Technology hardware and equipment is broken down into three industries: communications equipment, technology hardware, storage and peripherals and electronic equipment, instruments and components. Communications equipment includes routers, telephones and switchboards. Technology hardware, storage and peripherals includes computers, printers and cell phones. Electronic equipment, instruments and components include companies that make equipment like barcode scanners, transformers and security systems, as well as companies that are distributors or Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM). An OEM is a company that makes parts or components that are used in another company’s end product. For example, many Dell computers use Intel processors and have Windows pre-installed--Intel and Microsoft could be considered OEMs for Dell.
