End-of-Life Announcement for Meinberg LANTIME Operating System Version 6



Announcement of End-of-Life for LTOS V6 Effective January, 1 2023

Development of the Version 6 branch of the LANTIME Operating System will cease with effect from January 1, 2023.


Due to the increasing performance demands placed upon the hardware by the latest versions of the operating system, Meinberg has developed a ‘light’ version of Version 7.06 of the LANTIME Operating System to enable very old systems to run the Version 7 OS. This will allow devices featuring an AMD Geode™ LX 800 and 128 MB of RAM, which previously could only run LTOS V6, to benefit from the security features provided by the latest generation of the firmware.

These AMD Geode™ LX 800 CPUs provide significantly fewer processing resources compared to the Q7 CPUs currently used in LANTIME servers, and so to enable this “V7 Light” operating system to run on these legacy processors, a number of features have had to be removed from the full-fledged V7 operating system. These include:

  • SyncMon
  • NTS
  • Bird Internet routing daemon

The V6 firmware branch will continue to be maintained until January 1, 2023. Until that time, any feasible updates will continue to be offered for LTOS V6. Technical support will also continue to be provided for LTOS V6, even beyond the EOL date. It is also possible to have the AMD Geode™ LX 800 CPU module, containing 128 MB of RAM, replaced with a newer module, to enable your LANTIME to run the full-fledged version of LTOS V7. Please feel free to contact us to obtain an offer for the upgrade of your hardware.

We strongly urge any customers running LANTIME Operating System V6 to update their firmware to either V7.06 or, for devices with only 128MB of RAM, to V7.06-light as soon as possible.
