We want to develop an application that uses the GSM network to get a
position.


There are several methods for getting a position based on cell tower
info but to achieve a acceptable level of accuracy the info (ID,
signal strength, ...) of *all* visible cell towers is needed, not just
from the currently connected one.

Does the Android SDK provide access to this information?


The SDK seems to provide a way to get a position via the
android.location.LocationManager. The JavaDoc of the NETWORK_PROVIDER
constant states "Results are retrieved by means of a network lookup".

What technology is used by this method?


Thanks.


PS
I posted a similar question earlier today but I never saw it appear.
If it did get through, my apologies for this double post.
