connectiontype 6 means Cellular Network - 4G

When to send it

Send 6 when the device is on a 4G LTE network. Through OpenRTB 2.5 it was the highest value in the list.

Buyers treat 6 as broadband-class mobile data, good enough for standard mobile video. The most common confusion is with 7: phones on early 5G networks can report the LTE link that anchors the 5G connection, so the same session may be labeled differently by different SDKs. Send what the platform reports as active.

Example

{
  "device": {
    "connectiontype": 6
