I'm definitely seeing more and more of my bill of materials for the
PacketFlux products being subject to the tariff, even things which are
made in the US are being impacted due to certain raw materials which
are obtained from China either directly or indirectly.
If this continues, there will probably be a slight PacketFlux price
increase, but right now we're absorbing it (no need to rush out and
stock up on our gear yet).

I’m in the process of buying a couple Supermicro servers, and I’m told that due
to tariffs, prices have already gone up around 10% and will be going up another
15% on or about June 1.
Are others running into the same thing? It sounds like I need to place my
order now. That’s not a trivial increase.
We’ve also received tariff notifications from tower steel vendors, power supply
vendors, cable vendors, and we saw Cambium increase prices a few months ago.
Some of these like the steel and cable you just eat, but potentially everything
we buy except bandwidth may be going up. I wonder if bandwidth suppliers will
figure out a way to jack up prices claiming tariffs!
