Supported Network Technologies

A request can contain measurements from different radio technologies. The total number of cells and the amount of WLAN access points in a single request is limited. Do not include the same cell or WLAN multiple times in a request.

All the measurements are expected to be from the same location. If the device is moving, all the measurements have to be from the same moment of time (within seconds). Pay special attention to WLAN measurements as some client side APIs report stale WLANs in addition to the current ones. For recommendations on how to enhance accuracy, see Tips for Optimizing Data Accuracy .

Optionally, the request can also supply network measurements of neighboring cells.

The following is an example of a GSM cell measurement with neighbors:

{
  "gsm": [{
  "mcc": 262,
  "mnc": 1,
  "lac": 5126,
  "cid": 16504,
  "nmr": [
     { "bsic": "6", "bcch": "82" },
     { "bsic": "7", "bcch": "85" },
     { "bsic": "12", "bcch": "93" },
     { "bsic": "13", "bcch": "88" },
     { "bsic": "19", "bcch": "88" }
  ]
  }]
}
