The protocol is designed to be as simple as possible (KISS philosophy).
First of all, the mobile wanting to use this API device MUST inform their Push platforms in which mobile network are they connected. To do this, two alternatives can be used:
This pair identifies each mobile network in a unique way.
The ITU-T Recommendation E.212 defines mobile country codes as well as mobile network codes.
Complete list of all MCC-MNC pairs
This scheme is valid if the mobile network has only one segment assigned to the MCC-MCN pair.
Since some mobile operators have multiple network segments under the same MCC/MNC pair (because the high number of subscribers), an alternate identification method had been designed.
This other method identifies each mobile network by a UNIQUE HASH (selected by the MNO) but any RANDOM and UNIQUE string is valid. An UUID is recommended.
The mobile device SHALL inform his Network ID to the Push platform and also the MCC/MNC pair.
