Abstract

This disclosure describes techniques for determining technological capability of devices whose technological capability are unknown. The devices can be users of a wireless telecommunication network. A device, such as a cell phone, has a type allocation code (TAC) which can indicate a make and model of the device. Once the make and model of the device are known, the technical capability of the device is known. Certain TAC numbers, however, do not indicate the make and model of the device, and thus a device's technical capability is unknown. To determine the technological capability of the devices, a machine learning model is trained using usage data of the devices with known technological capability. After training, the machine learning model can be deployed to predict the technological capability of devices with unrecognizable TAC numbers by providing usage data associated with the devices with unrecognizable TAC numbers.
