Hi Adam,
We have a plan to increase scale higher than RSP1B but not on RSP2. You will soon hear the announcement.

Hi Waris,

Are there any plans to alleviate the scaling restrictions of RSP2 so that it can use the full 4G of memory please?
In other words are there any plans for RSP2 to have a similar scale as the RSP1B with future SW releases please?

Thank you

adam
