I bet the real story behind this is in Hillary Clinton's email.

Catalina is the internal name of the Analog Devices chip that we use
in the PMP 450 product. Nothing fancy or real significant.
You guys are reading WAY more into this than necessary.
Oh, and mostly this occurred due to a HUGE government conspiracy to
cover up the existence of an alien species that was sent to Earth to
assimilate our independent fixed wireless networks. Resistance is futile.

Probably not enough information to guess. Given the wording
“increased the incidence of”, one could speculate that this issue has
always occurred, either on some units or under some conditions, but
with a low probability. I know I recently RMA’d a unit that
intermittently showed this issue, and it was not on the serial number
list.
“Factory process issue” could be like that Proton rocket where they
put the part in backwards and hammered it to fit. It could just mean
someone loaded the pick&place machine with a reel of the wrong parts.
What I can’t figure out is the significance of the term “Catalina”. I
can find an old DSP company called Catalina Research, but no
indications it was absorbed into Analog Devices or sold technology to
them. Maybe it’s a cat name, like Sierra or Harley.

Fire up the Clinton auto parse-extrapolator....
OK, crystal ball in lap.... “factory process issue”...
Soldering most likely. Short, ground, bridge, open..... Could be a
mis-aligned or misplaced chip too. Same difference.
“that resulted in an electrical problem”
Yeah, most physical soldering issues are truly an electrical (as
opposed to software, firmware etc. problem)
“which increased the incidence rate of voltage issue”
OK, increased failure rate due to voltage issues. Solder opens
normally do cause voltage (or lack thereof) issues.
I still don’t understand what the meaning of “is” is...

There was a factory process issue that resulted in an electrical
problem which increased the incidence rate of voltage issues with the
Analog Devices RF chip (the “ADI” chip). It won’t affect ALL the units
listed, but we don’t want to take any chances. The issue has been
root caused and corrected.

I wanted to get this out to everyone before the weekend.� We
found the root cause and identified the affected units by
serial number.
