Environment

  • Onomondo App: Individual SIM page

    • Cell Tower Location

    • Signaling Logs

Question

  • Is it possible to use MCELL for location and not SCELL?

  • Can we get all the nearest cell towers?

Answer

No. Onomondo displays only the last cell the device attached to (as long as this information is delivered in signaling).

Cause

All cell tower location information reported in the app is based on the cell tower information received in signaling. This is normally delivered to us whenever the device opens a data session with the local RAN ("Create Session Request" / "Create PDP Context Request" in signaling logs).
