How do I identify which network my GO device is connected to?

Updated 

Answer

For most of our GO products, each device is configured during production so that it works natively with a specific network. This default network can be identified by reading the SKU: it appears as a three or four letter substring which denotes the carrier. The GO device maintains connectivity to the Internet via this default network while it operates in its domiciled locale. The ability to roam, e.g., during border crossings, allows the device to connect to the Internet via an alternate carrier.MyGeotab collects data from the device on which network a GO device is connected. This log is recorded after the device connects to the gateway successfully. You are able to identify the network which your GO device is connected to through MyGeotab:

  1. Navigate to Activity > Log data & Collision
  2. Select the vehicle and date range
  3. Type " Cellular modem radio access technology " in the search barwhich is the reason code that indicates the network the device is connected to
  4. The field Record Value indicates the type of network:
    • "0 is 2G
    • "2 is 3G
    • "7 is 4G
    • "8 is CATM1

This information can also be found on MyDecoder under debug log 60928. Through MyDecoder you can also identify MCC ( mobile country code ) and MNC (mobile network code ) .To decode the log to ASCII to read the MCC/MNC value, select the device log and navigate to the 'Device Information & Log Records' tab. On the right of the screen, the ASCII value will be displayed.Bytes 1-3 represents the mobile country code (MCC)Byes 4-6 represents the mobile network code (MNC)The MCC/MNC value pair can be taken from the string representation of binary dataFor example, an MCC/MNC of 51010 indicates that the device is in Indonesia and using TelkomselRefer to https://www.mcc-mnc.com/ for the MCC/MNC lookup tableImage
