A step beyond that: some can get fairly accurate with a single "tower". We had at minimum 3 BTS on every site, generally at 120 degree spacing but this could vary, but each BTS had multiple antennas and would do some rudimentary triangulation based on signal arrival times to each antenna. We could generally get within a couple of hundred fee.
