How Accurate Is Cellular Tracking

trashaccount

Qualified services may achieve a precision of down to 50 meters in urban areas where mobile traffic and density of antenna towers (base stations) is sufficiently high.[4] Rural and desolate areas may see miles between base stations and therefore determine locations less precisely.

Sounds not as bad as people say, if its really 50m² accurate.

Go check the date on the actual source of that claim.

5G in an urban environment can be precise to under 1 meter.

JollyRancher 5G is very easy to avoid. Im talking about LTE.

Go check the date on the actual source of that claim.

Its 2001. I wouldn't be posting here if i knew how accurate it is excatly.

Yes, it is talking about the accuracy of tracking 24 years ago.

That is a decentish primer.

In an urban environment you are looking at accuracy to within a handful of meters without 5g. With 5g you can get centimeter level precision.
