SS7Tracker

The SS7Tracker project on network-based active tracking was developed as a monitoring platform for roaming traffic, with the purpose of GSM network improvement. Modular client-server architecture takes advantage of SS7 signaling to retrieve mobile network subscriber cell association in real time. This is useful for statistical analysis of GSM network performance and coverage. Extensibility and modularity of the platform serve as inspiration for various follow-up projects from the Location Based Services (LBS) and LBS-advertising domain. The growing demand for time and spatial data of subscriber movement for urbanistic and sociological purposes leads to further improvements of the SS7Tracker platform in this up-to-date field of study.

Mobile Location Protocol Library

Project that is extending SS7Tracker is called Opensource MLP implementation. Its purpose is to develop Mobile Location Protocol (MLP) library in C++. This library provides standardized interface for acquiring location of mobile devices from mobile network. MLP is designed for IP networks, thus this requests can be performed by external entities that are not part of mobile networks.
