 analyzing, by a mobile device comprising a processor, an index value associated with first frequency bands supported by network equipment and layer indication data representative of a functionality of the network equipment; and   in response to determining a condition associated with the index value is satisfied and in response to determining that a frequency band, allocated to the mobile device that is attempting to connect to the network equipment, is included in the first frequency bands, generating, by the mobile device, display data representative of a wireless service associated with the functionality of the network equipment.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the condition is a first condition, the display data is first display data, and further comprising:
 in response to determining a second condition associated with the layer indication data has been satisfied and in response to determining that the first condition associated with the index value has not been satisfied, generating, by the mobile device, second display data different than the first display data.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the first condition is associated with a compatibility of the mobile device to use the index value to identify the first frequency bands. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 in response to the generating the second display data, facilitating, by the mobile device, displaying an icon indicative of a long term evolution wireless network via a display of the mobile device.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the index value represents an index to a supported frequency bands table organized by the index value. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the mobile device is a sub6 capable mobile device. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 in response to the generating the display data, facilitating, by the mobile device, displaying an icon indicative of a fifth generation communication network via a display of the mobile device.   
     
     
         15 . A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of user equipment, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
 analyzing an index value associated with first frequency bands supported by a network device and layer indication data representative of a functionality of the network device, and;   in response to determining a condition associated with the index value is satisfied and that a frequency band, allocated to a user equipment that is attempting to connect to the network device, is included in the first frequency bands, generating display data representative of a wireless service associated with the functionality of the network device.   
     
     
         16 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein the condition is a first condition, the display data is first display data, and wherein the operations further comprise:
