SAGEM grouped its business around two activities:
A communication branch (SAGEM was ranked second among French telecommunication equipment providers);
A defense and security branch (Sagem Défense Sécurité), which covered three domains:
Optronics and defense (imagers, infrared and light-intensifying cameras, sights, periscopes, gyrostabilised pods, cryptology, UAV systems, etc.);
Avionics (inertial navigation, civilian and military avionics, guidance and pointing systems);
Electronics (electronics, software, circuit boards, control units).
In 2005, SAGEM and SNECMA merged to form SAFRAN.[7][8] In 2007, SAGEM launched its mobile phones into the Indian market, marketed under the tradename "Bleu".[9]
In 2008, the SAGEM group spun off its communications and mobile telephony businesses (Sagem Mobile) to focus on core company values. Sagem Sécurité merged with Ingenico.[10] The broadband business became SAGEM Communication. The mobile phone business became Sagem Wireless. The identity, bio-metric and transaction business became Safran Morpho. The company's defence electronics business became Safran Sagem. |
