Cisco Campus Network for a Central Asian Research Institute — Licensed Export

Cisco campus network for a Central Asian research institute — fully licensed, 5 weeks

Eight buildings. 2,400 switch ports. A destination that required complete end-user export documentation. Previous suppliers had declined due to documentation complexity. Haink completed the export process and delivered the full Cisco Catalyst campus stack in five weeks.

Fully licensed export — end-user certificate, BIS screening, complete documentation

The challenge: documentation, not hardware

Cisco networking hardware is US-origin and subject to Export Administration Regulations. Deliveries to certain destinations require an end-user certificate (EUC) accepted by Cisco's distribution chain, plus end-user screening against the BIS Denied Parties List and OFAC SDN list. No previous supplier had navigated this documentation chain for this institution.
