## Solution:



First of all, you need to understand what are these values: (**eNB ID, MCC and MNC**)



And here is a table that gives a simple explanation about (**eNB ID, MCC and MNC**):

...


In the challenge file, we have those 3 values:



310

410

81907



...


Now you need to identify those values **(I mean that you need to know which one is the eNB ID and which one is the MCC and which one is the MNC)**



To do that, search for a list of MCC and MNC, and here is a good one: (https://www.mcc-mnc.com/)

If you search for **310** in that site, you will find a lot of results, but if you search for **410**, you will find 8 results only, so it's better to check the fewer results:

Nice, you now know that:

Now you need to locate that cell tower...



One of the best sites to locate cell towers is (www.cellmapper.net)




You can search for a specific tower in cellmapper:

If you put the **eNB ID** there, you will find a tower:

**that's the tower you are looking for!**
