Are we buying the latest Fleetwood system and how confident are you that it will not become obsolete soon?

Queesion from a new customer.

The Fleetwood system currently consists of 2 voting keypads; the WW or Worldwide keypad and the more sphisticated IQ keypad. The WW keypad was intoduced just over a year ago and the IQ is now 3 years old. The basic keypads will remain the same but ehnacements and chages will occur inside the cases to improve performance. Fleetwood has been making keypad systems for more than 15 years, and although some designs do eventually get phased out of production and replaced the older systems are still repairable. This has recently happened with the original Standard keypad. The original Standard keypad went out of production earlier this year but can work alongside the new WW keypads using the same software. The short answer to your question is NO; Fleetwood systems do not have a short life as a product range, and the keypads them selves will work for many many years. Many of them are still working after 15 years.
