## Status

- Bolt 7 RX: status announced. Announced: not sold yet.
- Bolt 7 RX: no successor is recorded.
- Owner, 2026-10-23: Bolt 7 is not sold yet; sales start in a few months. It is announced and has no official firmware, so the pre-release versions in Teradek's internal notes are not shown. The teradek.com page showed 'Ships in October' next to an active Add to Cart button on 2026-10-21.
- Owner, 2026-10-22: There is no official end-of-life policy yet (one is being worked on); until it exists, support covers every product, so no end-of-support date is given.

## Firmware releases

- No entry in the official firmware feed (https://update.teradek.com/wares.php) names this product, so any firmware values come from other sources.
