How to convert/ format NCELL data to data for cellmapper

[nathanb]

Hi,

how to convert/format NCELL data to data that you can use to find the cell on a cellmapper.

This is a ncell result: %NCELLMEAS: 0, “06223A0C”, “20610”, “5334”,65535,6400,242,51,24,1530502,0

Thanks in advance for the effort
Nathan

I haven't registered for a callmapper service but the one below offers an API.

https://opencellid.org/ requires MCC, MNC, LAC and CELL ID.

I did the following.

Convert cell_id 06223A0C from hex to decimal -> 102906380 for Cell Id

Split plmn 20610 into 206 for MCC and 10 for MNC

Convert tac 5334 from hex to decimal -> 21300 for LAC

This gives me an LTE cell tower at N51.064273 E4.495773 somewhere between Brussels and Antwerp.
