Tower Parameters
location_onLocation & Coordinates
keyboard_arrow_down
The Location field shows the physical address of the cell tower, while Coordinates display the exact latitude and longitude (GPS coordinates) where the tower is located. These coordinates are essential for mapping and navigation purposes.
tagMCC (Mobile Country Code)
keyboard_arrow_down
MCC is a 3-digit code that uniquely identifies the country where the mobile network operator is registered. For example, MCC 310-316 are assigned to the United States. This code helps identify which country's network you're connected to when roaming.
tagMNC (Mobile Network Code)
keyboard_arrow_down
MNC is a 2-3 digit code that identifies the specific mobile network operator within a country. Combined with MCC, it forms a unique identifier (MCC-MNC) for each operator. For example, 310-260 identifies T-Mobile USA.
signal_cellular_altCID (Cell ID)
keyboard_arrow_down
CID is a unique identifier for a specific cell (sector) within a cell tower. Each cell tower can have multiple cells (sectors) pointing in different directions, and each has its own CID. This helps your device identify exactly which cell it's connected to.
track_changesTAC (Tracking Area Code)
keyboard_arrow_down
TAC is used in LTE (4G) and NR (5G) networks to identify a group of cells that form a tracking area. When your device moves between cells in the same TAC, it doesn't need to update the network, which saves battery and reduces signaling overhead.
my_locationLAC (Location Area Code)
keyboard_arrow_down
LAC is used in GSM (2G) and UMTS (3G) networks to identify a group of cells that form a location area. Similar to TAC, it helps the network track your device's approximate location without requiring constant updates when moving between nearby cells.
routerNID (Network ID)
keyboard_arrow_down
NID is used in CDMA networks to identify a specific network within a system. CDMA networks use a combination of System ID (SID) and Network ID (NID) to uniquely identify network segments.
bar_chartSamples
keyboard_arrow_down
Samples represents the number of data points or measurements collected for this particular cell tower. A higher sample count generally indicates more reliable and accurate data, as it's based on multiple observations from various devices and locations.
businessOperator Information

Cellular Technologies
2GGSM (Global System for Mobile Communications)
keyboard_arrow_down
GSM is a second-generation (2G) digital cellular technology introduced in the 1990s. It uses TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) and operates on frequency bands like 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, and 1900 MHz. GSM provides voice calls and basic data services (GPRS, EDGE). It uses LAC (Location Area Code) for location tracking.
3GUMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System)
keyboard_arrow_down
UMTS is a third-generation (3G) mobile communication standard that provides faster data speeds than 2G. It uses WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) technology and operates on bands like 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1700 MHz, 1900 MHz, and 2100 MHz. UMTS supports video calls and mobile internet. It also uses LAC (Location Area Code) for location tracking.
4GLTE (Long-Term Evolution)
keyboard_arrow_down
LTE is a fourth-generation (4G) wireless broadband technology that provides high-speed internet access for mobile devices. It uses OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) and operates on various frequency bands (e.g., 700 MHz, 850 MHz, 1700 MHz, 1900 MHz, 2100 MHz, 2600 MHz). LTE offers significantly faster data speeds than 3G and supports HD video streaming. It uses TAC (Tracking Area Code) for location tracking.
5GNR (New Radio / 5G)
keyboard_arrow_down
NR (New Radio) is the fifth-generation (5G) wireless standard that provides ultra-fast data speeds, low latency, and supports massive device connectivity. It operates on both sub-6 GHz bands (like 600 MHz, 2.5 GHz, 3.5 GHz) and millimeter-wave bands (24 GHz, 28 GHz, 39 GHz). 5G enables advanced applications like autonomous vehicles, IoT, and augmented reality. It uses TAC (Tracking Area Code) for location tracking, similar to LTE.
CDMACDMA (Code Division Multiple Access)
keyboard_arrow_down
CDMA is a cellular technology that uses spread spectrum techniques, allowing multiple users to share the same frequency band simultaneously. It was primarily used in North America and some Asian countries. CDMA networks use NID (Network ID) along with SID (System ID) for network identification. Most CDMA networks have been or are being phased out in favor of LTE and 5G technologies.
