Mobile Gateway Property

The mobile gateway (mobile_gateway) property is provided on IP addresses acting as 3GPP gateways. This information is provided in both the IP API and the Mobile Gateway Datasets.

Property Information

Mobile Gateway Application Info

The first JSON block in the Mobile Gateway property is our standard application property. It provides the ID, tag, description, logos, and more.

Mobile Gateway Service List

A single IP address can host multiple mobile gateway services and providers. This information is provided in the mobile_network_service_list section of the JSON object. In our adjacent example JSON, you can see mobile services from two brands - Fido Mobile and Rogers - owned by one parent company.

Mobile Gateway Service Info

MCC

MCC - Mobile Country Code - is a unique three-digit code identifying a mobile network's country of origin in cellular communication systems. Note: the code can be prefixed with zeros, so the value is a string, not an integer.

MNC

MNC - Mobile Network Code - is a unique identifier, typically two or three digits, that distinguishes a specific mobile network within a country. Note: the code can be prefixed with zeros, so the value is a string, not an integer.

Hostname

The primary hostname associated with the mobile gateway.

Service

The mobile service associated with the gateway.

• AES - Authentication
• BSF - Binding Support Function
• COTA - Channel Occupancy Time Adaptation
• EPC - Evolved Packet Core
• IMS - IP Multimedia Subsystem
• RCS - Rich Communication Service
• SES - Service Exposure Server
• WSS - Dual Wavelength Selective Switch
• H-SLP - Home SUPL Location Platform

Country

The country associated with the mobile gateway. This is not necessarily the IP address's geolocation but the mobile service's country of origin.

Continent

The continent associated with the mobile gateway. This is not necessarily the IP address's geolocation but the mobile service's continent of origin.

Entity

The entity is the mobile brand associated with the service. An entity property is identical to an application property. If the entity is not known, this property is not shown.
