Home Product Lifecycle

Product Lifecycle

DWDM.ME equipment is designed for long-term operation in mission-critical data transmission networks. We provide advance notice regarding product discontinuation and end-of-support timelines, allowing customers to plan upgrades proactively and minimize infrastructure risks.

Stages of the DWDM.ME Equipment Lifecycle:

General Availability (Active Production)

At this stage, the equipment is actively manufactured, available for order, and delivered with full documentation and technical support. This phase ensures maximum availability.

Mature Product Phase (Extended Support)

After mass production ends, the equipment remains available in limited quantities. Technical support, firmware updates, and spare parts are provided – subject to stock availability.

End of Life (EOL)

At this stage, production and sales are discontinued. Support continues for a defined period (typically 1-2 years after the EOL announcement), giving customers time to migrate to newer solutions.

Important: receiving EOL status for specific components or devices does not imply the end of development opportunities. DWDM.ME offers up-to-date replacements for discontinued models – newer, more powerful, and energy-efficient devices fully compatible with existing architectures. This enables uninterrupted network development in line with modern technology requirements.

Equipment Service Life

The average service life of DWDM.ME equipment is 5-7 years, assuming compliance with the recommended usage conditions. All devices are built for high reliability and stable performance under continuous operational loads.

EOL Notification

We notify partners and clients in advance when equipment enters End of Life status. This allows them to:

prepare for equipment replacement or upgrades;

procure spare parts in advance;

receive technical consultations for replacing outdated equipment and migrating to current models.
