Point Mobile PM451: Discontinued – but far from the end of its lifecycle
Point Mobile has officially announced the discontinuation of the PM451, effective 31 December 2026. At the same time, the manufacturer guarantees repair and component support until 31 March 2032.
A good example of how a product discontinuation does not automatically mean the end of a device’s service life.

For companies with larger PM451 fleets in particular, this opens up several options: continuing to operate existing hardware, repairing it as needed, or preparing a gradual technology transition.
It is also worth noting that Point Mobile already offers a successor model, the PM452, which is compatible with existing PM451 accessories.
This means a generational change does not necessarily require replacing the entire existing infrastructure.
As a Point Mobile service partner, Weilandt Elektronik supports companies with repairs and spare parts supply, as well as with device pools, refurbished replacement devices and guidance through planned technology transitions.
Because successful lifecycle management is not about keeping devices running as long as possible at any cost. It is about making the most of existing investments economically and recognising the right moment to switch.
