Hey Everyone-

Back in May Particle announced our new B-series devices as part of our supply secure line. I’m thrilled to announce that preorders for the Boron 404x/B-series devices are now live and shipping is estimated in November 2022.

You can order the Boron itself [here](https://store.particle.io/products/boron-lte-cat-m1-noram-with-ethersim-4th-gen?variant=40193140326469) and the starter kit [here](https://store.particle.io/products/boron-lte-cat-m1-noram-starter-kit-with-ethersim-brn404xkit?variant=40278606970949).

For more information on the Boron 404x, check out the datasheet or ask in this thread!

Is there a firm date yet?

Thank you

Shipping is still set for November but the precise date depends on when you placed your pre-order.

Thank you

You should expect it to ship in 2-4 weeks. You will receive more info as it prepares for shipping.

Thanks for the reply. Frustrating as it is. I needed them 4 months ago. Now it will be up to a month before I can even get my hands on one to test it and be sure it works before I will order more. Who knows how long the second order will take assuming everything works out of the box. Very frustrating

@Colleen Perhaps a better question to ask is when can your customers expect to be able to order on demand without a 2-4 week back order?

Thanks

Noted, thank you. This will not work in my device unfortunately.

I understand the frustration. The silicon shortage and subsequent supply chain issues have been very difficult to deal with for everyone and you’ve been waiting a long time. However, the 404x once available will not face the same availability issues past devices.
