TelcoBridges Products and CentOS 7 EOL
TelcoBridges TMedia and ProSBC products are built on top a Linux Distribution that is customized by the TelcoBridges software engineering team for the specific purpose of a telecommunication platform. Today, we use the CentOS 7 Linux distribution as the main source for third-party packages.
Following the announcement by RedHat of the end of life of CentOS 7 to be effective on June 2024, and their latest announcement that they will no longer make the source code for RHEL available, some customers may be concerned about the continuous availability of bugfixes and security patches for their TelcoBridges products.
Rest assured that TelcoBridges will continue to provide bugfixes and security patches for the TMedia and ProSBC software to all customers with a support contract. That support will continue even after Centos 7 becomes EOL. Our products do not have a “hard” dependency on Centos or RHEL, the open-source packages that we use remains available from multiple sources, including their original maintainers.
At some point in time, it may be necessary for our customers to perform an upgrade in order to continue receiving software patches. Our support team will provide advance notice and assistance when that happens.
