End of Sale/End of Life for Tenor D800/D3000 Products
The Tenor D Series family of products (D800/D1600/D2400/D3000) is being replaced by
the new Tenor DX Series, which was launched on November 18, 2003.
The last day to order Tenor D Series products will be March 31, 2004.
Introduction
The Tenor D Series family of digital VoIP MultiPath Switches was first introduced in
December 1999. These products have been successfully deployed and providing
reliable, high quality voice over IP services in enterprise and service provider
applications in over 70 countries throughout the world.
End of Sale and End of Life
This document outlines the End of Sale (EoS) and End of Life (EoL) plan for the Tenor D
Series family of products. These products include the D800, D1600, D2400, and D3000
Tenor VoIP MultiPath switches.
The reason for this EoL notice is introduction of the new DX Series of products which will
replace the D Series products. The DX Series offers a wider range of configurations
plus enhanced capabilities to better meet the needs of our customers.
