Introduction to ps-locale-fi_FI-14.0.1.1000-1.cop.sha512
This Cisco Options Package (COP) delivers Finnish (Finland) language localization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM) 14.0.1, enabling regional compliance for enterprises operating in Finland. Designed to support ISO 8601 date formats, Finnish diacritics (ä, ö, å), and locale-specific telephony protocols, it ensures seamless integration with Nordic regulatory requirements.
The SHA512 checksum file guarantees cryptographic verification of the software’s integrity, adhering to FIPS 180-4 standards for secure validation. Released in Q4 2025, this package supports Cisco IP Phone 8865/7841 series, Webex Room Kit Pro, and Unified CM clusters running version 14.0(1) or later. Its development aligns with Cisco’s global strategy to enhance multilingual UC deployments.
Key Features and Improvements
