To our valued customers,
 The GENEVA product line is comprised of the GR2000, GR4000 and GR5000 models and have been in production for over 10 years. As high-tech products age and volumes decline, parts availability challenges emerge that diminish our ability to sustain the product line. As a consequence, Teradyne plans to discontinue the sale of these platforms and their associated hardware and software test options, effective February 28, 2005.
Hardware and software components subject to this discontinuance include the following:
-
GR2000, GR4000 and GR5000 mainframes
-
VXI instrumentation and VXIscan switch modules
- Encompass
- The Analog, xDSL and Digital Telecom test libraries
In order to help customers manage this transition and to satisfy any current demand for these products, Teradyne is extending a last time buy offer for all components and systems effective with the date of this letter and concluding on April 30, 2005. However, sales are limited to stock on-hand.
After February 28, 2005, Teradyne will continue to supply service, spare parts, telephone support, and on-site support for at least five years for the GENEVA installed base of customers. Application support agreements and hardware support contracts will continue to be available during this five-year support period. Beyond this timeframe, Teradyne support will continue on a reasonable-effort basis. Applications support will be provided on a reasonable-effort basis and may include support by third-party companies comprising the Teradyne Support Network.
For further questions or information please contact your salesperson or local Teradyne office.
Sincerely,
Assembly Test Division |
