Abstract
A Cell-ID translation module accesses a Cell-ID translation database to associate original Cell-ID information with new or changed (i.e., translated) Cell-ID information received by a handset. A Cell-ID database is effectively regularly changed rendering useless any third party databases previously collected without authorization by the relevant mobile operators. Cell-IDs collected by unauthorized third parties will either not be found in the third party database, or not match up to the correct location.
