We've been checking into this to see what's happening. I'll follow
up privately with more about your order but for others who might be
curious about the general topic, there's good news to report.
The first good news -- particularly for us -- is that there's been
high demand for the Octane2 workstations & VPRO upgrades in their
many markets. For some time, supply was limited by the industry-wide
shortage of ceramic packaging for custom ASICs. We have been working
with our suppliers to resolve this.
So the second good news is that we've managed to get lead times down
for orders quite a lot: The current production leadtimes for Octane2
systems are now down to approximately 20 days; leadtimes for the V12
upgrades are at 15 days. This is a significant improvement from just
a quarter ago (we had some mention of this in our Q2 quarterly
report.)
For others with questions about a particular order it's best to
contact your sales rep directly. But if they need an extra nudge,
let us know.
Allan
