- Thai Character Encoding: Correct display of complex vowel markers and tone diacritics in call logs
- Regional Compliance: THB (Thai Baht) currency formatting in CDR exports per Bank of Thailand standards
- Time Zone Automation: Automatic ICT (Indochina Time) synchronization for timestamp accuracy
The package integrates with Cisco Smart Licensing 2.0 through automated CSSM portal validation, aligning with security protocols described in Cisco’s Cryptographic Services documentation.
2. Technical Enhancements & Regulatory Compliance
2.1 Linguistic Optimization
- Thai Script Shaping: Full support for สระ (vowel) and วรรณยุกต์ (tone) positioning rules per TIS-620 standards
