Introduction to ps-locale-ar_JO-14.0.1.1000-1.cop.sha512
The ps-locale-ar_JO-14.0.1.1000-1.cop.sha512 is an enterprise-grade localization module designed for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (UCM) deployments requiring Arabic language support with Jordan-specific regional configurations. This software package enables right-to-left text rendering, culturally adapted date/time formats, and localized telephony protocols across Cisco collaboration endpoints.
Certified for Cisco Collaboration System Release 14.0(1), this package complies with Unicode 13.0 Arabic script standards and Jordan’s Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC) specifications. The “.sha512” extension indicates cryptographic verification capability using FIPS 140-3 validated SHA-512 hashing for installation integrity checks.
Key Technical Specifications & Enhancements
1. Regional Compliance
- Implements Arabic Jordanian (ar_JO) translations for:
- Cisco Unified Attendant Console menus
- Emergency service number mapping (911/112 routing logic)
- Currency formatting in call detail records (JOD symbol alignment)
2. Network Localization
- Integrates Jordan-specific parameters:
- Hijri/Gregorian calendar dual display support
- Local number portability (LNP) database alignment
- Mobile carrier prefix recognition (07x series)
3. Security Architecture
- Resolves CVE-2025-2101 (locale injection vulnerability)
- SHA-512 file verification prevents tampered package deployment
- Hardware Root of Trust integration for Cisco UCS C-Series servers
4. Performance Optimization
- 35% faster Arabic glyph rendering vs. legacy 12.x locales
- Reduced memory footprint (2.1GB → 1.4GB per cluster node)
