Dear all,

The RIPE NCC has chosen a new model for the RIPE Atlas v3 Anchors. The hardware we finally opted for is the PC Engines APU2. As well as being cheaper than the previous generation of anchors, this model meets the majority of requirements we laid out for the next generation of anchors. 

To be clear, given that there are still a couple of minor logistical details to resolve, we are still keeping applications on hold for the time being. That said, we look set to meet our September deadline to resume shipping of RIPE Atlas anchors.
