IDK if this helps but the lead time will vary per manufacturer and model, depending on what they had in stock and their allocations internally and at various distributors. Behind the scenes, the manufacturers can do an allocation and hold for what they think are most critical needs. E.g. during the peak of COVID they prioritized healthcare end-users.
So some models may have already been built and get out the door quickly, while others were low inventory/high demand and therefore not in production yet due to the chip shortage. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/12/the-global-chip-shortage-could-last-until-2023-.html Also worth noting, the status can change daily. Work with your VAR/reseller and they can usually get a bit more info via disti and/or the manufacturer. As always, mileage may vary. A valid and easy question is – what IS available and see if that suits your needs. Good luck and happy Friday! -jj ___________ Jennifer Minella, CISSP VP of Engineering & Security Carolina Advanced Digital, Inc. www.cadinc.com<http://www.cadinc.com/> j...@cadinc.com<mailto:j...@cadinc.com> 919.460.1313 Main Office 919.539.2726 Mobile/text [CAD LOGO EMAIL SIG] From: Mike Atkins <matk...@nd.edu> Sent: Thursday, May 20, 2021 10:24 AM Subject: Lead time for Wi-Fi gear? What's the word on lead time for your Wi-Fi gear? We are primarily Cisco but have some Aruba and see ship times six months out. Is that what everyone else is seeing? I know some Meraki gear can be shipped within a week or so. I just wanted to get a feel from the group as to what they hear on the street. -- Mike Atkins Infrastructure Architect Office of Information Technology University of Notre Dame Phone: 574-631-7210 ********** Replies to EDUCAUSE Community Group emails are sent to the entire community list.
