Mobile Gateway Object

The Mobile Gateway (mobile_gateway ) object is provided on IP addresses acting as 3GPP gateways. This information is available through both the IP API and the Mobile Gateway Datasets.

A single IP address can host mobile gateway services from multiple providers. This information is provided in the mobile_gateway_service_list attribute of the JSON object. In our example JSON below, you can see mobile services from two brands on a single IP address: Fido Mobile and Rogers.
