Perhaps -- but how does it work inside? Are we relying/requiring the user to put up a GPS antenna?

If you look at the webpage of telecomsystems (http://www.telecomsys.com) they state that their platform is GPS based.

I see no other way of doing this reliably than to put some kind of GPS device into the VoIP unit.

If you can put a locator into a cellphone, I see no reason why you cannot do the same in a VoIP unit.
