A wireless communications system (40b) capable of delivering Time Of Arrival (TOA) positioning data to at least one externally operated and maintained requesting agent (12), including a gateway (14a, 14b) to the external agent (12), which provides an interface to the requesting agent (12). The system (40b)also includes a Base Station Subsystem (BSS) (62) and an array of Location Management Units (LMUs) (24). The BSS (62) serves at least one mobile set (26) for which TOA positioning data is requested and is accessible by the requesting agent (12) through the gateway (14a, 14b). The LMUs (24) are configured to compute positioning coordinates for the mobile set (26), wherein the BSS (62) includes positioning functions (16) are moved to the BSC (20) or integrated within the BTS (22) so that control of the LMUs (24) is accomplished at the BSS (62). |
