LOWELL, MA – Tyco Electronics today announced it intends to sell its Radio Frequency Components and Subsystem business. The segment represented about $500 million of total the business unit’s $887 million in sales in 2007, but is considered a non-strategic business. Headquartered in Lowell, MA, the unit employs about 2,000 people at 11 locations throughout the U.S. and Europe. Tyco has no current plans to sell its Public Safety/Land Mobile Radio Systems and Products businesses, which are also part of the Tyco Electronics unit.
