Callback Parameters

Parameter	Data Type	Description
username	string	The user's login information.
password	object	The user's password.
requestId	string	The `requestId` being viewed. This is a system generated value from the request above.
intelligenceResponse	object	Details about the callback response.
wirelessCoverages	object	Details about the wireless coverage in the area queried.
domesticCoverage	array	An array of objects containing network information based on the location information queried.
location	object	Contains the location information being queried.
coordinates	object	Contains the latitude/longitude pair being queried.
products	array	Contains objects detailing the products and services found by the query.
networkType	string	The type of network identified. Valid values are: CAT-M, NB-IOT, LTE, LTE-AWS, 5GNW and *C-BAND.
technologies	array	What technologies have been found and how strong a connection is from the location queried.
type	string	Operational path loss measurement from the transmitting antenna to the receiving equipment using the technology below: VZW_LTE_OPL: 4G LTE on Verizon’s network LRA_LTE_OPL: 4G LTE on Verizon's LTE in Rural America program (LRA) EXT_LTE: 4G LTE from a Verizon partner VZW_AWS_OPL: 4G LTE between the 1.7 GHz to 2.2 GHz frequencies on Verizon’s network LRA_AWS_OPL: 4G LTE between the 1.7 GHz to 2.2 GHz frequencies on Verizon’s LTE in Rural America program (LRA) VZW_CATM_OPL: CAT-M on Verizon’s network LRA_CATM_OPL: CAT-M on Verizon’s LTE in Rural America program (LRA) VZW_IoT_OPL: NB-IoT on Verizon’s network VZW_NW5G: Combines lower 5G Spectrum with Verizon’s LTE network. 5G Nationwide uses Dynamic Spectrum Sharing to run 4G LTE and 5G in the same spectrum band VZW_CBAND: 5G C-Band on Verizon’s network.
score	string	For LTE/AWS/CAT-M: 120 = Excellent Coverage Quality. In general, with a higher probability, to be able to connect to the LTE data network outdoors including in vehicle. Customers should be able to connect within most buildings. In-building coverage will be affected by factors such as thickness/construction type of walls and location in the building (i.e. basement, in the middle of the building with multiple walls, etc). 133 or 138 = Border or fair coverage quality. In general, customers can expect to be able to connect to the LTE outdoors. Customers may experience “dead spots” or “loss of service” in vehicle and in-building coverage will be less likely. For NB-IoT: 143 or 148 is returned if there is coverage For 5G Nationwide coverage: 133 = Only this value is returned when there is coverage. For C-Band: AVL if 5G C-Band coverage is available. Note: this response does not take into account FWA qualification for 5G BI unlimited plans. For EXT_LTE: AVL if roaming coverage exists Null (N/A) = no coverage
status	string	Status of the products query. This will be either SUCCESS or FAILED.
status	string	The status of the `intelligenceResponse`.
callbackCount	string	The number of responses for `intelligenceResponse` found.
maxCallbackThreshold	string	The maximum number of responses for `intelligenceResponse` allowed.

Failure Responses

All error messages are returned in this format:

{
  "errorCode": "The 3-digit HTML error code",
  "errorMessage": "string"
}

Synchronous Error when greater than 1K locations passed in one request:

{
   "errorCode":"UnifiedWebService.INPUT_INVALID.MaxRequestsExceeded",
   "errorMessage":"Request contains more locations than the maximum allowable of \"1000\"."
}

Asynchronous Error when the 10K allotment is fully exhausted:

{
   "faultcode":"UnifiedWebService.REQUEST_FAILED.TelematicsRequestUnsuccessful",
   "faultstring":"REQUEST_FAILED. Number of locations exceeded daily limit. Please retry tomorrow"
}

Asynchronous Error when the 10K allotment is not exhausted, but the new request will exceed the 10K limit:

{
   "faultcode":"UnifiedWebService.REQUEST_FAILED.TelematicsRequestUnsuccessful",
   "faultstring":"REQUEST_FAILED. Number of locations may exceed daily limit. Pending locations allowance is 998"
}
