NetworkSuffix
Note Starting with Windows 10, version 1703, this setting can no longer be used in provisioning packages. For more information on changes to the Windows Provisioning Framework, see Windows Provisioning Framework. This setting may have a Configuration Service Provider (CSP) equivalent that can be used instead. To determine if a CSP for this setting exists, see the description below.
To meet branding requirements for some mobile operators, OEMs can add a suffix to the network name that is displayed on the phone. For example, you can change from ABC to ABC 3G when under 3G coverage. This feature can be applied for any radio access technology (RAT).
For TD-SCDMA RAT, a 3G suffix is always appended by default, but partners can also customize this the same way as with any other RAT.
Determine if you need to use the per-IMSI or per-device setting. When using per-IMSI:
- Define
Targets
or conditions for when a variant can be applied, such as keying off a SIM's MCC, MNC, and SPN. - Define settings for a
Variant
, which are applied if the associated target's conditions are met.
For more information about specifying settings within variants, see Create a provisioning package with multivariant settings.
In the setting name, set $(SYSTEMTYPE) to the network type that you want to append the network name to, and set the value for that network type as shown in the following table:
$(SYSTEMTYPE) | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
4 |
2G |
Represents RIL_SYSTEMTYPE_GSM (GSM connection). |
8 |
3G |
Represents RIL_SYSTEMTYPE_UMTS (UMTS connection). |
16 |
LTE |
Represents RIL_SYSTEMTYPE_LTE (LTE connection). |
32 |
3G |
Represents RIL_SYSTEMTYPE_TDSCDMA (TD-SCDMA connection). Partners do not need to set this registry value. By default, this registry setting is set to “ 3G”. |
For example, if you would like the mobile operator name (ABC) and the suffix (3G) to appear as ABC 3G (there is a space between the network name and the connection type) rather than ABC3G (no space between the network name and connection type), you need to include a space when setting the values.
For more information about the RIL system types, see RILSYSTEMTYPE.
