Abstract
A process for consolidating location-dependent information in a two-way radio system includes determining a geographic location of each subscriber unit in a group of subscriber units active within a radio frequency (RF) coverage area of a base station (BS), determining a single representative geographic location for the group of subscriber units based on their geographic locations, requesting location-dependent information from a content provider using the representative geographic location, and causing the location-dependent information to be broadcast within the RF coverage area.

A method for consolidating location-dependent information in a two-way radio system, the method comprising:
- determining a geographic location of each subscriber unit in a group of subscriber units active within a radio frequency (RF) coverage area of a base station (BS);
- determining a single representative geographic location for the group of subscriber units based on the geographic locations of each subscriber unit;
- requesting, from a content provider, location-dependent information using the representative geographic location;
- and
- causing the location-dependent information to be broadcast within the RF coverage area.
A two-way radio system infrastructure device for consolidating location-dependent information in a two-way radio system, the device comprising:
- a memory;
- a transceiver;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- determine a geographic location of each subscriber unit in a group of subscriber units active within a radio frequency (RF) coverage area of a base station (BS);
- determine a single representative geographic location for the group of subscriber units based on the geographic locations of each subscriber unit;
- request, from a content provider, location-dependent information using the representative geographic location;
- and
- cause the location-dependent information to be broadcast within the RF coverage area.
