Regional codes are numerical or alphanumeric identifiers used to designate specific geographic areas. These codes help in organizing data, managing resources, and facilitating communication within various sectors, such as telecommunications, transportation, and postal services. For example, the ISO 3166-1 standard assigns two-letter country codes to represent nations and their subdivisions. In telecommunications, regional codes are often used in phone numbers to indicate the area of a call. For instance, the North American Numbering Plan includes area codes that help route calls to specific regions. This system ensures efficient connectivity and helps users identify the origin of a call.
