Introduction to UCSInstall_UCOS_UNRST_11.5.1.16900-16.sgn.iso
This cryptographically signed installation image provides the US Export Unrestricted (UNRST) version of Cisco’s Unified Communications Operating System (UCOS) 11.5.1, specifically designed for international deployments requiring reduced encryption capabilities. The ISO implements International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) compliance protocols and contains preconfigured templates for government-regulated telecommunications infrastructure.
Developed under Cisco’s Global Trade Compliance Program, this release addresses 14 cryptographic limitations identified in standard UCOS distributions while maintaining compatibility with core collaboration features. Certified for on-premises deployments in non-US/NATO countries, it meets Wassenaar Arrangement export control requirements for dual-use technologies.
