Island Pro Price Increase Coming June 17, 2026
Due to current supply-and-demand pressures for critical components of our Island Pro router/firewall, PerfTech announces a $200 retail price increase for the Pro, from $1,299 to $1,499. The price increase takes effect on June 17, 2026. Channel pricing will adhere to the same contractual discounts currently in place.
Several factors have led to this decision. Memory, both DRAM and Flash, have nearly tripled in the past year, and other major components have increased by approximately 50%. While we have previously taken measures to avoid increasing the price by strategic management of our supply chain, and absorbed several cost hikes so far, continued cost increases mandate this action now. The cost-spiking issue is well-known across nearly every intelligent electronic product, so it’s no surprise that Island pricing is affected as well.
Still, the retail price increase does not cover our cost increase. To insulate our channel as much as possible and ease the impact, PerfTech has opted to share the burden by absorbing a portion of the increase.
Note that our original Island will remain priced at $499. This Island uses a generation of RAM that we had already purchased in large supply to avoid availability issues and serves our present inventory demands.
We will continue to try to minimize the need for future price increases but must operate sustainably within the current environment. Hopefully these trends will reverse as market conditions begin to normalize.
