Display Network place(CELL ID) in GSM

hi sir,

Iam using Q2687rd v7.44 GSM module
in this module how can i display the Network area location(CELL ID ) when GPRS is connected in my application.
what at commands it refers.

please suggest me with beautiful quote.

thank you in advance…

Send:

AT+CREG=2

Then send:

AT+CREG?

You will then receive something like:

+CREG: 2,1,"2AAC","7E12"

Where 2AAC is the Location Area Code and 7E12 is the cell ID .

See also AT+CCED

thank you for your reply sir

how can i convert the location area code into area name to display

please reply …

You would have to subscribe to some service for that.

Instead, a nice document can be found here:

Hope this helps.

Yes, the document describes the process - but it still relies upon some 3rd-party to provide the data.

FWIW, I found the Google service to give only very coarse results - within a couple of thousand metres radius. And Google were entirely unhelpful in discussing this - unless I would commit to a major, large-scale commercial deployment…
