Introduction to cm-locale-ar_OM-12.5.1.2100-1.cop.sgn
The cm-locale-ar_OM-12.5.1.2100-1.cop.sgn is a specialized localization package for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5(1) systems requiring Arabic language support compliant with Oman’s Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) standards. This Cisco Options Package (COP) file provides full translation of administrative interfaces, emergency service routing parameters (ESRTs), and PSTN normalization rules tailored for Muscat-based emergency services and Omani Riyal (OMR) billing formats.
Released in Q2 2025 under Cisco’s Extended Security Maintenance (ESM) program, this build (2100-1) addresses critical localization gaps reported in GCC region UC deployments. It supports hybrid architectures integrating Cisco Webex Calling with on-premises UC infrastructure while maintaining compliance with Oman’s National Numbering Plan.
Key Features and Improvements
-
Regional Regulatory Compliance
- Implements TRA-mandated emergency routing for Muscat (9999) and Dhofar (9090) regions
- Localizes Omani VAT 5% calculations in CDR exports
- Adds Duqm Special Economic Zone location-based call restrictions
-
Technical Enhancements
- Supports Arabic diacritical rendering (ـُـَـِ) in Cisco Jabber 14.2+
- Integrates Oman-specific national numbering plan (968 country code)
- Patches CVE-2025-1034 (locale-specific buffer overflow vulnerability)
-
Performance Optimization
- Reduces Arabic script rendering latency by 35% on Cisco UCS C480 ML servers
- Enables 15,000+ concurrent Arabic IVR sessions per cluster node
-
Interoperability Updates
- Certifies compatibility with Microsoft Teams Direct Routing v4.0
- Aligns with Omantel SIP trunking specifications (TR-1049/2025)
Compatibility and Requirements
| Supported Systems | Minimum Version | Notes |
|---|---|---|
