PLMNtietoa

PLMNtietoa is a Finnish term that translates to "PLMN information" or "Public Land Mobile Network information." In the context of mobile telecommunications, a PLMN is a geographical network operated by a specific mobile network operator. It comprises the radio access network and the core network components.

The PLMNtietoa refers to the data and identifiers associated with a particular PLMN. This includes the Mobile Network Code (MNC) and the Mobile Country Code (MCC). Together, the MCC and MNC form the Public Land Mobile Network Identifier (PLMN ID), a unique code that identifies a mobile network operator in a specific country. For example, the PLMN ID for Elisa in Finland is 24401.

When a mobile device connects to a cellular network, it scans for available PLMNs. The device then selects a PLMN based on user settings or operator preferences. This selection process allows the device to identify which network it is registered with and to roam between networks if necessary. Understanding PLMNtietoa is crucial for network configuration, device operation, and for users to comprehend their mobile network service. It forms the foundational layer for mobile network identification and connectivity.
