Axis Says Product Shortages Improving
While Axis product shortages have now entered year 3 (and 5 out of the last 7 years), Axis says its product shortages are shrinking and will soon improve even further.
IPVM ran new integratory survey results on shortages with Axis, again, being one of the top complaints.
