=== eNB Scheme === | |||
One physical site may share multiple eNBs. Usually, this will be split between one eNB for mid-band (2/66) and another for low-band (5/13). In any case, the last 4 digits of the eNB will remain the same between split eNBs. | |||

Verizon's 5G Standalone | Verizon's 5G Standalone core is not available for consumer use yet. Note that it ''is'' still possible to map these networks on some devices via band locking. For best results, try locking n5 or n77 using an '''AT&T'''-based SIM card which may actively avoid locking on to AT&T's own 5G SA network. | ||
=== gNB Numbering Scheme === | |||
Verizon gNBs IDs are 22-bits. They are always at least 4 digits long, with the last 3 digits corresponding with the last three digits of an LTE eNB.[https://old.reddit.com/r/cellmapper/comments/z8212d/verizon_nrsa_n5_and_n77_showing_signs_of_life_in/ (source)] The digit preceeding that varies by band, and the remaining digits vary by market. | |||
For example, given a gNB of 4567890, it would be associated with an LTE tower with an eNB ending in xxx890, and broadcasts n77. | |||
The table below displays the known numbering scheme for the digit which changes based on band. | |||

=== TAC === | |||
For unknown reasons, the TAC for Verizon sites may either be mapped as 0, or will be mapped with the last valid NR TAC reported by the device (in most cases, T-Mobile's.) The latter issue is almost guaranteed to happen when mapping without a SIM enabled, and / or when the device had last connected to a T-Mobile NR site. | |||

CellMapper can only map trails for mmWave at the moment. An [https://github.com/no1mann/verizon-coverage-map-extension extension] has been developed to view the hidden mmWave layer on Verizon's coverage map which may be useful in identifying possible mmWave sites. | |||
