Introduction to PCD_UCOS_15.0.1.12900-47.sha512.iso

This system image delivers Cisco’s Unified Communications Operating System (UCOS) version 15.0 Service Update 1 (SU1), providing the core platform for Cisco Collaboration Suite deployments. Released in Q1 2025 under Cisco’s Extended Maintenance Release cycle, it introduces critical security patches and performance optimizations for enterprise-scale voice/video collaboration systems. The SHA512 checksum file ensures cryptographic validation compliant with NIST FIPS 180-4 standards, requiring mandatory integrity verification before deployment.

The ISO package supports upgrades for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM), IM & Presence Service, and Emergency Responder deployments. Compatible with Cisco’s 2025-certified hardware portfolio, it addresses 15 CVEs identified in previous versions while maintaining backward compatibility with 14.x configurations.
