We want to use banana Pi R3 for our warehouse in the EU region. So, we need the reliable supplier for the EU region with Metal case along with Antennas.
What is the End of Life for the Banana Pi R3?
it will long time support(LTS)
Software support will be LTS. What about the R3 router manufacturing end time? Will it available in the next 2 to 3 years.
es, All the Banana Pi products have been discontinued. The reason is that only the chips are not available for supply.
For customers who use the Banana Pi development board to develop products or projects, we will do our best to ensure long-term supply. Even if the chips are discontinued, we will provide alternative solutions.
the first Banana Pi SBC:BPI-M1 ， We are still in the process of supplying goods at present.
Thanks for your response !! Will the the chips available for atleast 2yrs minimum right?
We want to use this development board for our next generation services.
Are you saying that they (including the BPI-R4) are already discontinued? 
Or should that be interpreted as all Banana Pi products eventually being discontinued when you can no longer buy the SoCs (or other important chips) anymore?
