Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer readable media for providing a triggerless centralized location server are disclosed. According to one aspect, a system for providing a triggerless centralized location server includes multiple signaling message routing nodes configured to operate in a telecommunications network. Each routing node is configured to receive a signaling message having an intended destination, determine whether the received signaling message includes location information related to a subscriber, and, if so, extract the location information related to the subscriber, route the signaling message to the intended destination, and store the location information related to the subscriber in a centralized location database. The centralized location database is configured to receive a request for location information associated with a subscriber, and, in response to receiving the request, retrieve the location information associated with the subscriber from the database and provide the retrieved location information in response to the request.
