Expanded UIM Identifier (SF_EUIMID)

Terminals (known as multi-mode assignments) complying to both 3GPP2

and 3GPP air interface technologies may use a single identifier, separate
MEID and IMEI assignments are not typically needed.

The multi-mode identifier needs to be in decimal form

The GHA is presently assigning the RR 99 decimal multi-mode range

Equipment Identity Register

(EIR)
The EIR is primarily designed to control fraud
X.S0008-A v1.0 in press, now includes EIR MEID protocol elements
CDG published CDMA EIR Requirements CDG Document 212
Version 1.0 in December 2012
The TIA MEID db under development is capable as a Centralized
MEID EIR (CEIR) i.e., white list, should industry desire to pursue
The decimal MEID (RR99 exclusively used for multi-mode)
assignments are provided to the IMEI db by the GHA

Highlights

It was agreed in the Global Wireless Equipment Identifier Numbering Resources &
Administration Joint Experts Meeting held in London in 2009 that the unique identifier
used by a particular cellular network should be used for all applications including
M2M that use that cellular network.

It is estimated that M2M needs can be served by the present MEID & IMEI numbering
space

The TIA MEID database is in test and the TIA web site also includes the MEID
Administrator's section providing information on Guidelines and forms to applicants.
