The company’s answer: “In order to focus on the products that will drive future innovation and growth, we are making a strategic decision to reduce our current commercial portfolio. This streamlined approach allows us to concentrate on continuing to deliver the highest-quality and most relevant solutions for the market.”

Another question asks, “Will discontinued models still be supported?”

The answer: “Yes! Just like we do with previous generations. We will continue to service discontinued models.”
