Abstract
A managed access system for mobile wireless devices (MWDs) in a facility that is geographically within a wireless communications network includes a plurality of antennas arranged around a periphery of the facility, radio equipment coupled to the plurality of antennas, and at least one MWD geolocation device for the wireless communications network. A management access controller is configured to cooperate with the at least one MWD geolocation device to determine that a given MWD is within the facility, compare an identification of the given MWD to a list of authorized MWD's to determine whether the given MWD is unauthorized or authorized, and coordinate with the wireless communications network to block outside communications when the given MWD is an unauthorized MWD and provide outside communications via the radio equipment and the wireless communications network when the given MWD is an authorized MWD.
