ABSTRACT:
The present application, a system for proximity awareness for mobile data communication on an electronic communication device comprising of a client application on an electronic communication device communicating across a wireless network, and an awareness server consisting of a plurality of server objects that monitors multiple devices on a wireless communication network. In addition, the client application on the electronic communication device comprises of a plurality of software objects. The client application periodically broadcasts the current wireless tower that the device is communicating on, to the awareness server.

If there is a match in Tower IDs, an alert is sent to both users that they are in proximity to each other.
