Abstract

A centralized database system is used in a wireless location system that determines the geographical locations of mobile wireless transmitters, the wireless location system including signal collection systems, location processors for processing digitized RF data provided by the signal collection systems, and a centralized database system for managing resources in the wireless location system. The centralized database system includes a computer, a database, and a plurality of software processes for managing the wireless location system, providing interfaces to external users and applications, and storing location records and configuration information.
