How can i get the type of connection of a carrier network?
Reachability
class I'm able to get network flags
Reachability Flag Status: WR t------ localWiFiStatusForFlags
I'm able to get WIFI SSID using CaptiveNetwork
Supported interfaces: ( en0 )
en0 => {
BSSID = "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx";
SSID = MyWifiNetwork;
SSIDDATA = <x1x1x1x1 x1x1x1x1 x1>;
}
But i'm not able to differenziate 3G, EDGE or GPRS connection.
Any idea also using iOS private API?
thanks.
From iOS 7 on you can use:
CTTelephonyNetworkInfo *telephonyInfo = [CTTelephonyNetworkInfo new];
NSLog(@"Current Radio Access Technology: %@", telephonyInfo.currentRadioAccessTechnology);
[NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter addObserverForName:CTRadioAccessTechnologyDidChangeNotification
object:nil
queue:nil
usingBlock:^(NSNotification *note)
{
NSLog(@"New Radio Access Technology: %@", telephonyInfo.currentRadioAccessTechnology);
}];
I have also found this to detect a slow or fast connection:
- (BOOL)isFast:(NSString*)radioAccessTechnology {
if ([radioAccessTechnology isEqualToString:CTRadioAccessTechnologyGPRS]) {
return NO;
} else if ([radioAccessTechnology isEqualToString:CTRadioAccessTechnologyEdge]) {
return NO;
} else if ([radioAccessTechnology isEqualToString:CTRadioAccessTechnologyWCDMA]) {
return YES;
} else if ([radioAccessTechnology isEqualToString:CTRadioAccessTechnologyHSDPA]) {
return YES;
} else if ([radioAccessTechnology isEqualToString:CTRadioAccessTechnologyHSUPA]) {
return YES;
} else if ([radioAccessTechnology isEqualToString:CTRadioAccessTechnologyCDMA1x]) {
return NO;
} else if ([radioAccessTechnology isEqualToString:CTRadioAccessTechnologyCDMAEVDORev0]) {
return YES;
} else if ([radioAccessTechnology isEqualToString:CTRadioAccessTechnologyCDMAEVDORevA]) {
return YES;
} else if ([radioAccessTechnology isEqualToString:CTRadioAccessTechnologyCDMAEVDORevB]) {
return YES;
} else if ([radioAccessTechnology isEqualToString:CTRadioAccessTechnologyeHRPD]) {
return YES;
} else if ([radioAccessTechnology isEqualToString:CTRadioAccessTechnologyLTE]) {
return YES;
}
return YES;
}
