[IPVM Note: Poster is from Tyco]

It would be great to see the test of the new Illustra PRO that also supports Exacq Edge and it is a new hardware design and it is produced in the Canada and later on also in EU.

Milos, we might but it is not a high priority as requests for Illustra tests from integrators and end users is quite low.
