System and method for locating a mobile terminal, particularly for rescuing a person in distress, and device for awaking a corresponding mobile terminal

摘要

The mobile terminal positioning system has a mobile terminal activator carried by an aircraft such as a helicopter with a repeater connected to first and second antennas. The first antenna communicates with the base station, whilst the second antenna communicates with a specific coverage zone. The mobile terminal is activated when in the zone, sending a message which provides positioning information.
