HSDPA Standard At Commands Page 26 of 60 Version 1.2 Test command returns a set of five parameters, each representing an operator present in the
network. A set consists of an integer indicating the availability of the operator <stat>, long and
short alphanumeric format of the name of the operator, numeric format representation of the
operator and access technology. Any of the formats may be unavailable and should then be an
empty field. The list of operators shall be in order: home network, networks referenced in SIM or
active application in the UICC (GSM or USIM) in the following order: HPLMN selector, User
controlled PLMN selector, Operator controlled PLMN selector and PLMN selector (in the SIM or
GSM application), and other networks.
It is recommended (although optional) that after the operator list TA returns lists of supported
<mode>s and <format>s. These lists shall be delimited from the operator list by two commas.
NOTE: The access technology selected parameters, <AcT>, should only be used in terminals capable to register
to more than one access technology. Selection of <AcT> does not limit the capability to cell
reselections, even though access technology is selected, the phone may still re-select a cell in other
access technology.

1 manual (<oper> field shall be present, and <AcT> optionally)
2 deregister from network
3 set only <format> (for read command +COPS?), do not attempt
registration/deregistration (<oper> and < AcT> fields are ignored); this value is not
applicable in read command response
4 manual/automatic (<oper> field shall be present); if manual selection fails, automatic
mode (<mode>=0) is entered
<format>:
0 long format alphanumeric <oper>
1 short format alphanumeric <oper>
2 numeric <oper>
<oper>: string type; <format> indicates if the format is alphanumeric or numeric; long
alphanumeric format can be upto 16 characters long and short format up to 8
characters (refer GSM MoU SE.13 [9]); numeric format is the GSM Location Area
Identification number (refer TS 24.008 [8] subclause 10.5.1.3) which consists of a
three BCD digit country code coded as in ITU-T E.212 Annex A [10], plus a two BCD
digit network code, which is administration specific; returned <oper> shall not be in
BCD format, but in IRA characters converted from BCD; hence the number has
structure: (country code digit 3)(country code digit 2)(country code digit 1)(network
code digit 3)(network code digit 2)(network code digit 1)
