We've seen this coming for a while but Mitel last week finally made it official.
Effective May 1 2006 all E1/T1, E&M, DS1, PRI, R2 and Universal, etc, etc. formatter cards for the SX2000 architecture will be no more.
After that date the only thing you'll be able to order will be the NSU's p/n 50004990 (NA) and 50004991 (Euro).
One concern I see in this plan is the NSUs are only offered in AC powered versions. I guess no one has a 48 vdc powered PBX anymore.
And you can forget going to the secondary market for these. According to DEAN ENTERPRISES the secondary market has been experiencing an extreme shortage of MC270 series PRI and Universal cards for several months. There's even a waiting list for them.
