Thank you. [Operator Instructions]. Your first question comes from Celeste Santangelo with Merrill Lynch.
Celeste Santangelo - Merrill Lynch
Hi good afternoon.
Frank M. Drendel - Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Hi Celeste.
Celeste Santangelo - Merrill Lynch
Hi. A question on the Carrier segment, the growth that you saw in Q2, do you think there was anything in the way of pull in and then how were you looking at that business. What's included in your outlook for the rest of the year?
Brian D. Garrett - President and Chief Operating Officer
Celeste, this is Brian. I would say very little in the way you have pulled in. The whole segment is scrambling their installed equipment right now, I would say that's the largest limitation at present. And if I look at channel inventories, I would say that they have not swollen, so pretty stable in that regard. But at the same time I would say, it represents the peak for the year and with an expectation modest downward movement into the third quarter and then the usual uncertainties in the fourth quarter, but I will tell you our current position is reflected in our guidance for the Carrier segment, represents a strengthening of our outlook for the fourth quarter, relative to where we were at this time last quarter. Does that help you?
Celeste Santangelo - Merrill Lynch
Yes, thank you. And was there anything in the Andrew results this afternoon that surprised you negatively or positively versus your original due diligence?
Frank M. Drendel - Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Yes, Celeste, most of that we've understood in our early due diligence and we are very, very excited about where this takes us, so I continue to look at worldwide position that these companies will have, the markets and the up trend that we hope for in the domestic market when you consider that most of the opportunity is a returning to the domestic market, you look at the results we had internationally and Andrew had internationally, I'm very excited. So you just get any kind of improvement in the two major domestic wireless carriers - those results would be outstanding.
Celeste Santangelo - Merrill Lynch
Great. Thank you.
