PRODUCT END-OF-LIFE NOTICE
This EOL is after the streamlining of Nordic ID product portfolio.
As there is a large base of Nordic ID EXA51e devices in use, we have made sure that the transition to the new EXA81 device will be completely transparent to existing deployments, as they share the same APIs and communication interfaces.
We realize that a product discontinuation may cause some inconvenience to our customers. Our sales and technical support teams are ready to help during the transition and answer any questions about our products and solutions.
And of course, if there is still some need to purchase EXA51e devices to make this transition smoother, we will be still selling those until 31.01.2024 (see EOL timeline below).
Note that the Nordic ID EXA51e ACD UHF Quad Lock model (without 2D imager) is not included in this EOL, and it will remain available.
