Dear Valued Customer,
After careful consideration and in alignment with our commitment to providing you with the most advanced and reliable technology, we have decided to discontinue the NetModule AP3400 wireless portfolio. This decision is part of our ongoing efforts to streamline our product range and focus on delivering cutting-edge solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers.
We understand that this may cause some inconvenience, and we are here to assist you through this transition.
Additional Information
Following a final evaluation phase, the AP3400 product failed to comply with the requirements of the Radio Equipment Directive (RED), Article 3.3. As a result, we are unable to continue offering the product in its current form within the EU market. This technical compliance issue, confirmed during the final stage of conformity assessment, has necessitated an accelerated discontinuation schedule and resulted in this short-notice communication.
Although the product underwent an extended development and pre-compliance testing phase, it ultimately failed to meet critical essential requirements under RED Article 3.3 (d), (e), and (f) during final conformity evaluation. The non-compliance affects essential functions related to network protection and interoperability. Due to the late-stage nature of this finding, and the resulting inability to legally place the product on the EU market, we are forced to initiate an immediate end-of-life (EOL) process.
We understand this may cause some inconvenience, and we are committed to supporting you through this transition.
