If you see this in a log, the cell is not a high-throughput urban macrocell — more likely a small cell, rural site, or private LTE network.
I have a 4G LTE unit with the following identifiers: 4g Lte 5m H43 C50 Mv2.227
Security researchers have noted that some rogue base stations (IMSI catchers) use unusual or malformed identity strings. The format H43 C50 is for 3GPP specs – the spec requires MNC, MCC, TAC, eCI. This looks more like a vendor-internal manufacturing test code found in: If you see this in a log, the
