Our students completed today the presentation of the GSM Tracker project. It is basically an application written in Symbian which runs on the Series 60 and that allows to track the Cell id of the current network cell. This information can then be passed to a database and reused by other applications. Another interesting aspect of their work is that they integrated a fast and rough algorithm for the centroid approximation of the cell. This enable the user to build autonomously a database of the locations of the towers’ positions.

We are planning to release soon the source code. In the mean time you can check the project report (sorry only in French at the moment) and the PowerPoint presentation (in French also).
