End of Life (EOL) Policy

From time to time, some products of rf IDEAS will reach the end of their life cycle. This may happen for a variety of reasons: innovation and new product development resulting in product replacement with a new version; lack of market demand; obsolescence or unavailability of certain third-party components used in the manufacture of a product; etc. With that in mind, rf IDEAS has established the policy below to help customers manage the end-of-life product transition.

The End of Life (EOL) Policy applies to End of Life and/or End of Sale announcements issued on or after June 15, 2017 and does not apply to any product that was already subject to an End of Life and/or End of Sale announcement prior to this date.

The general tenets of the End of Life Policy are:

  1. As a general rule, rf IDEAS will provide 6 months' notice of the intent to end-of-life affected products. The notice will appear on "EOL Notice" webpage and will contain the list of affected part numbers and replacement options (if available). We suggest visiting this page regularly for the latest EOL information. 
  2. rf IDEAS will maintain a list of EOL products for at least 18 months from the EOL date.
  3. Wherever possible, rf IDEAS will offer a last-time buy for affected products, with End of Sale date set at 3 months before the EOL date.
  4. All affected products purchased at any time up to the End of Sale date are covered under the rf IDEAS General Warranty Policy, and returns and/or replacements will be available in accordance with the Return Materials Authorization (RMA) process.
  5. For EOL products, firmware bug fixes will be available for a period of 1 year from the EOL date.

Technical support for EOL products will generally be available at any time after the EOL date. In rare cases when rf IDEAS is no longer able to provide technical support for an EOL product, a special communication will be issued.
