MOBILE APPLICATION PART (MAP)

Introduction of higher supported MAP version
Please note the following when completing this table:
If a different Application Context version is supported by multiple vendors of the same equipment
in your network then the entry in the table shall be the highest, common AC version supported (e.g.
if equipment from one vendor supports an ACv2 and the same equipment but from a different
vendor supports an ACv3, then the entry in the table will be ACv2).
All operations for an Application Context version must be supported, otherwise that version cannot
be claimed to be supported.
If an Application Context is not supported, then a single hyphen ("-") shall be entered instead of a
number.
All GSM Operators shall ask their Vendors to have the latest Version of Release implemented
(e.g. Suppose that Ext-QoS-Subscribed length range is 1 to X in ver x.y.z, but 1 to Y in the latest
MAP version of the same release. In this case, all operators shall implement Ext-QoS-Subscribed
length range as 1 to Y as written in the latest version).
