Sage Alerting Systems has announced the discontinuation of its Sage Digital ENDEC, model 3644.
Here’s the official statement from Sage Alerting Systems:
“Some parts for the ENDEC are no longer available. We have parts on hand for repairs, and we expect to be able to continue repairs on ENDECs now in the field for several years. Warranty repairs will also continue. Sage will continue to support the firmware in the 3644 ENDEC, and will continue to provide user support via email and phone lines.
The next planned firmware update is a free maintenance release for minor bugs and to enable the Missing or Endangered Persons (MEP) alert code.
Sage has no immediate plans for a replacement for the 3644. EAS has always been an odd niche business with a very bursty sales rate. The FCC has been contemplating major changes to EAS rules for the last year or two. What happens next remains to be seen. Sage will continue to evaluate opportunities for new products in the coming months.”
Please take the necessary steps to address this change and ensure your EAS systems remain compliant.
