Suspended indicates that simultaneous voice and data is unavailable. Simultaneous voice and data comes with 3G (though may not be available if switched to from 4G), but it does not come with 2G.

Location Area Code.

What it is meant to be used for is that if the phone has an inbound call/text, all towers in the LAC notify the phone so that it can notify the carrier of which cell it is currently in and begin to receive the call in it. If the phone moves to another LAC, it notifies the carrier so that the carrier knows where to find it.

Routing Area Code.

What it is meant to be used for is that if the phone has data to receive, all towers in the RAC notify the phone so that it can notify the carrier of which cell it is currently in and begin to receive data in it. If the phone moves to another RAC, it notifies the carrier so that the carrier knows where to find it.

The BCCH arfcn is the channel number of the broadcast channel. The broadcast channel is for broadcasts, such as settings mobile phones are to use for 2G. It is not the channel number of the traffic channel.

Wi-Fi has bands (e.g. 2.4GHz) and channels in those bands (e.g. Channel 5), in 2G there are bands and channels inside those bands too.

On 3G and newer, the band can be derived from the channel number. On 2G, it is only possible to do so to an extent, there are regional differences of what a channel number means.

Each channel is +0.2MHz off the previous channel, unless the end is reached. Each channel is 0.2MHz wide.

A carrier can only use a channel if it has a license to use it. For example, a carrier may own 5MHz in a single band, meaning that there are then 25 channel numbers available to it, 5MHz / 0.2MHz = 25.

Cell ID in the hexadecimal format (counting with 0123456789abcdef instead of 0123456789), the cell ID identifies the tower and the part of the tower.

Once converted to decimal, conventionally, every digit except the last digit identifies the tower, and the last digit identifies a part of a tower.

For example, 1(as the last digit), 2(as the last digit), and 3(as the last digit) may identify 3 different antennas, each aimed at a different direction. The frequencies of 4, 5, and 6 may significantly differ from the frequencies used for 1, 2, and 3.

Receive Level is the signal strength. Because 2G's channels are small and many, interference occurs less often, so the signal strength can be a good indicator of how good it is.

A higher Rx Lvl (closer to -47) is generally better. There are diminishing returns.

Transmit Power Level. The band determines the maximum transmit power level.
