Buy spares now, while units still circulate on the secondary market. Current eBay listings for ISR 2900 Series ↗
It is unsupported today. Set a migration timeline and budget.

Independent and informational. EOSL.ai sells no hardware and no maintenance, and lists no paid placements. Third-party maintenance keeps unsupported gear in production past the OEM cutoff; whether it fits depends on the role the asset plays.
