Abstract
A system and method for sending location-based messages to mobile communication devices utilizes communications between base stations and mobile switching devices of a mobile access network to calculate the latest locations of the mobile communication devices supported by the mobile access network. The calculated locations of the mobile communication devices are maintained as location data in at least one location database, as well as information about the mobile communication devices. The location data and the information about the mobile communication devices are used to send the location-based messages to the mobile communication devices located within a specified geographical area.
