DNS, Register, and IMEISV

22 10 2005

Finally after 7 days my email and domain name work. Typepad has an efficient service for setting up a blog and supporting CNAME. Its not Register’s fault that it takes days for DNS to propagate and their care was really helpful. I used the chat services for support and they were quick to notice some errors in aliasing my domain and email. Now back to the new topic of mobile in my life, IMEISV.

IMEISV = TAC + FAC + SNR + SVN
-IMEI Internal Mobile Equipment Identity
-TAC Type Approval Code, determined by a central GSM/PCS body
-FAC Final Assembly Code, identifies the manufacturer
-SNR Serial Number, uniquely identifies all equipment within each TAC and FAC

On GSM networks 3GPP introduced SV support for a variety of services, one being tracking buggy devices in production. Its a good thing, just hope Operators get it working.
