Feature overview

Goals

The aim of the Countries Management feature is to provide a list of Countries, which are needed to define the location of a Network.

Functionality of the feature

CMP provides a list of Countries, which are needed to define the location of a Network. The Alpha-2 and Alpha-3 codes of the displayed Countries are defined by the ISO 3611-1 standard.

Note that this list of Countries will be shown anywhere in the CMP where there is a need to select a Country from a dropdown list.

Configuring the proper Country for a Network is important for the CMP to identify data that enable features such as location reporting and usage statistics.

Three Country Types are supported in the CMP.

COUNTRY	Networks, defined by MCC (Mobile Country Codes) and MNC (Mobile Network Codes) related to this Country Type are bound to a Country in a geographical sense.
SATELLITE	Networks, defined by MCC (Mobile Country Codes) and MNC (Mobile Network Codes) related to this Country Type are bound to a Satellite Network.
OTHER	Networks, defined by MCC (Mobile Country Codes) and MNC (Mobile Network Codes) related to this Country Type are bound to none of the above (e.g. UN Service Organisations).
