Mapping more mobile networks to a state

We will be mapping more mobile (cellular) networks to a state (subdivision) rather than a city for the United States and other countries. This change will better reflect the end user location of these IP addresses across a region instead of a specific city.

For example, many of these networks use IP addresses across a region like “New England.” In such cases, we may map IP addresses to a state in the geographic center of the region, and set the accuracy_radius and subdivision_confidence values appropriately. See our Support Center documentation on GeoIP2 accuracy for more information about accuracy_radius values.

These changes will be implemented incrementally. Some IP addresses will reflect this change on September 2, 2021, and additional IP addresses will be updated on September 13, 2021.
