Since our June announcement, we’ve made substantial progress toward the HackRF Pro launch, and we’d like to share an update on the project timeline.

Progress So Far:

• All of the production parts that we expected to have a long lead time (which were ordered months in advance of our initial announcement in June) have been delivered to our contract manufacturer.
• We completed two additional hardware revisions to improve RF performance. We are now on HackRF Pro r1.1.1, which we anticipate will be the final revision. If there are further changes, they will be minor and will not include a PCB layout change.
• We delivered production files to our manufacturer in mid-July 2025.
• All other parts for production have been purchased.
• Sample PCBs have been ordered for RoHS and internal testing and are expected to be assembled and shipped by next week.
• Tooling for the final enclosure is in progress.
• Packaging design should be finalized by the end of the month.

Updated Timeline:

One critical component, the crystal oscillator, came with an unexpectedly long lead time. There is no drop-in alternative with a shorter lead time. As a result, SMT is delayed, and we’ve adjusted the expected date of first shipments of HackRF Pro to our resellers from September 2025 to the end of October 2025.

We appreciate our community’s patience and support as we work to ensure HackRF Pro meets the highest performance standards possible before shipment. With production underway and all parts secured, we are confident that the updated end-of-October shipping target is achievable!
