May 4, 2010: EOL Notice for 802.11 b/g modules of the Verdex Pro series

Gumstix has received an EOL notice for the Wifi module FCC and Wifi module EU that provide 802.11b/g communication in the Verdex Pro series. As a result, 802.11b/g wireless communications for the Verdex Pro series will become EOL once stock is depleted.

This EOL information received by Gumstix states that these modules can not be available for purchase by Gumstix after May 2010. As such, Gumstix is taking the following steps in May 2010:

1. Any customer wanting to purchase either the Wifi module FCC or the Wifi module EU, in low or high volume, must contact This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it before May 21st, 2010 to indicate your requirements.
   
2. Gumstix plans to make a last time buy before the end of May 2010 based on customer demand.
3. The Wifi module FCC and Wifi module EU will be available for purchase from Gumstix until May 28, 2010 or until stock runs out at the Gumstix warehouse, whichever is later.

More Information:

A small form factor, PCMCIA-connected Wifi module to replace this EOL module for the netpro-vx expansion board is not available in the industry now. Gumstix recommends the use of a USB-connected 802.11b/g product, as suitable.

Note that 802.11b/g wireless communication is available on the Overo Air COM and the Overo Fire COM of the Gumstix Overo series.
