[idata]

Hello,

I would like to know if the module Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 is end of life ? If yes when is the last call for buying ?

Thank in advance

The STATUS does not indicate EOL: http://ark.intel.com/products/75439/Intel-Dual-Band-Wireless-AC-7260 Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 Product Specifications

However, it is more than 4 years old, so how much time can be left...

Question: Is this for a desktop or laptop?

Thank you Al

We use the Wirelles-AC 7260 for Laptop. Did you know how long we can still buy it from the offical EOL of this module ?

[AlHill]

I cannot answer that.

However, I have to let you know that these adaptors are only to be installed by OEMs and integrators:

Ok, thank you,

yes we pass through our OEM for integrate, but they told us that the module AC 7260 is EOL ?

We will have to wait for the Intel Support Staff to verify. As the link I provided says, it is not EOL yet. But, it being four years old, it may be the database is not yet updated.
