SC.Soft and GSMA have signed an agreement on getting access to the unified TAC database (IMEI DB)

Getting up-to-date information directly from such a reliable and respected source will allow our company to provide some services more effectively. First of all, it concerns our CEIR and DMS platforms, where relevant and accurate data on devices registered in the mobile network is critical to its operator.

The 8-digit Type Allocation Code (TAC) forms the first part of the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI), which identifies each mobile device and its model specification. TAC is required for all 3GPP-compliant equipment types worldwide, including IoT devices, cellular modems, and sports monitors. GSMA and its appointed Reporting Bodies are the only globally recognized and official source of TACs for creating IMEIs. Thus their database is the most complete and trustable TAC and IMEI register.
