Certainly, it will be my pleasure. [Operator Instructions].
And we do show a question from the line of Steven Fox with Merrill Lynch. Please go ahead.
Steven Fox - Merrill Lynch
Hi, good morning. Couple of questions. First of all, can you talk about the growth in the wireless business, a little bit more on the handset side? Where are you? What kind of products are you having most success with and in what type of customers by region?
Thomas J. Lynch - Chief Executive Officer
Thanks Steve. Our wireless business really has? are you talking about the wireless business in our components segment?
Steven Fox - Merrill Lynch
Yes, I’m sorry in the electronics components segment.
Thomas J. Lynch - Chief Executive Officer
Yes. Sure. Well, I think as you know, historically, we’ve not been a real big player in that segment and about three or four years ago put a big push on for obvious reasons, given the strength of that segment to become a significant player. And I think the team has done a real good job of steadily improving our position and broadening our connective product line and just really dedicating more engineering resources to the big customers. We can’t get into customer-by-customer detail, but we’re now in all the big customers. One of those big three, we’re still not a major player, but we are in the door. But in the top five, we have a strong position. So, a lot of products are now ending up in mobile phones in every region of the world. And we really feel good about the progress.
And I would say the most important key there again as we increased the engineering resources dedicated to that. It’s a project-by-project basis and so far we’ve been executing well.
Steven Fox - Merrill Lynch
Okay. Great. And then, secondly, on the Undersea Telecom business. You mentioned that you built more backlog and more projects. Can you sort of help us out on what the implication for full year revenues are now for that business? And what it means for margins off of the margins you just put up?
Terrence R. Curtin - Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
Yes, Steve, it’s Terence. When you look at the year, certainly, we had about $300 million revenue in the first quarter. We did have the big Trans-Pacific project that we will be wrapping up where we see? Undersea I think the best way to think about it is in the second quarter around $250 million of revenue. And right now, in the out years, probably about $150 million, out quarters $150 million per quarter in the out. So, that is adding to the increase to our topline growth, increase our topline growth on guidance. You did see? we did see operating income pickup in that segment this quarter. I think with these levels, I would still expect them to be in the low double digits for the year.
