HMS Networks has announced the planned End-of-Life (EoL) for select NT24k Compact managed switches. The NT7000 platform is the recommended migration path, with DIN-rail fixed-port models available today to support many existing NT24k Compact applications. The Last Time Buy (LTB) date for affected products is February 28, 2027. HMS Networks intends to support demand through the LTB date; however, product availability remains subject to component and material availability. Customers are encouraged to forecast demand and place orders as early as practical.
