Numbering Resources
*NEW*
A Numbering Joint Experts Meeting (JEM-04) is scheduled to be held on September 2 & 3, 2010 at TIA
headquarters in Arlington, VA USA.

The JEM will address Global Wireless Equipment Numbering Identifier Resources & Administration. Global mobile equipment identifier numbering discussions will continue from the previous JEM-01 London 2009 meeting, and the JEM-02 & -03 conference call sessions that included short and long term planning for: Mitigation of equipment numbering space exhaust, Future equipment types and requirements, Security issues, Administration coordination including Joint cooperative guidelines, and Industrywide issues.
Please Register by August 27, 2010. Registration is arranged by contacting TIA at numberingjem@tiaonline.org. (Include your name(s) & company name to be registered with TIA – 1-2 Representatives Maximum per Company).
Note: JEM-04 contribution cutoff date is one (1) week before the meeting start date (late contributions will be taken only depending on time at the meeting). Send to TIA at numberingjem@tiaonline.org.
- Electronic Serial Numbers (ESN) and MEID An electronic serial number (ESN) is the unique identification number embedded or inscribed on the microchip in a wireless phone by the manufacturer. Each time a call is placed, the ESN is automatically transmitted to the base station so the wireless carrier's mobile switching office can check the call's validity. The ESN cannot easily be altered in the field. The ESN differs from the mobile identification number (MIN), which is the wireless carrier's identifier for a phone in the network. MINs and ESNs can be electronically checked to help prevent fraud.
- Mobile Equipment IDentifiers (MEID) A Mobile Equipment IDentifier (MEID) is a globally unique 56-bit identification number for a physical piece of mobile station equipment. Equipment identifiers are "burned" into a device and should be resistant to modification. They are used as a means to facilitate mobile equipment identification and tracking. Additionally, MEIDs are coordinated with International Mobile Equipment Identifiers (IMEIs), facilitating global roaming and harmonization between 3G technologies as a universal mobile equipment identifier.
- System Operator Codes for ANSI/TIA/EIA-136 The 12-bit System Operator Code (SOC) is used to identify a Service Provider (SP) and is used along with the System Identity (SID) by a mobile station to acquire or reject services offered by specific SPs.
- SS7 TT & SSN Assignment Notification Information Repository This repository may be used to enhance industry awareness of previous and proposed assignments including information for company representatives to contact peers. When questions arise, this repository provides a tool to resolve potential conflicts and to avoid possible collisions between carriers on similar services. The tables document known assignments and are not guaranteed to be accurate or up-to-date.
