Product general description and reasons for Retirement:
The Companion CT2Plus and PCI portfolio provide a multi-cell wireless voice
solution for users of Meridian 1, Norstar, and Business Communications Manager
systems as well as third party systems via the Companion C200 and Companion
Wireless Server. This Bulletin serves as the official notification of pending Retirement
status. This Retirement is a due to a growing concern of future FCC/Industry
Canada spectrum utilization policies, reduction in the overall UPCS industry sales,
growing dominance of 802.11 based technologies, and in part to the lack of future
availability of key Companion product components.
This bulletin has been up-issued to reflect a change in the planned "Last Date to Order"
dates for certain Companion components.
