G650 EOS

[pmcginty]

Avaya has released the End of Sale for G650. Effective date June 10, 2018. Better start preparing to upgrade your gateways.

so secondary re sellers will still sell these

Won't take long before they no longer support them. I bet that notice will come when CM 8 is released.

wanna bet my company still supports the old definity's

I would hate to be the person who decides to stay on legacy equipment that is no longer supported by the manufacturer. Sounds like a resume generating event when a major system goes down.....

I say good riddance to G650 gateways. They represent technical debt and create more problems than they solve.

I thought G650 EOS was in 2009? What about end of support services? Can you please provide a link from Avaya?

End of sale has been announced. Plan on seeing them supported in Avaya Aura 8 but I wouldn't expect anything past release 8. There are a few scenarios where the G650 was required such as TDM firewall and local H.323 connections between a PN and other PBX for local survivable. There are ways around these (of course for just a few $$$ more). At this point it makes sense to get rid of the legacy hardware.

Thanks for the link pmcginty. As I could not find it in the support matrix when doing a search for g650 (two other links above is what is on the web).
