Documenting the Columns in the downloadable Cells database CSV

Hey Navid,

You’re right, we’re going to publish an updated documentation sheet on the columns soon. I’ve mentioned the column descriptions below:

Radio: The generation of broadband cellular network technology
MCC: Mobile Country Code
Net: Mobile Network Code
Area: Location Area Code (LAC)
Cell: Cell tower code (CID)
lat, long: Approx coordinates of the cell tower
range: Approximate area within which the cell could be. (radius in meters)
samples: No of measures processed to get this data
changeble:

  • 1 = The location is determined by processing samples
  • 0 = We got the location directly from the telecom firm

created: When the cell was first added to database (UNIX timestamp)
updated: When the cell was last seen (UNIX timestamp)

I hope this helps!
