Location management using android phone and dot net server

I want to implement a location based service ,In that service the mobile users will send their location co-ordinates to db in 10 seconds 6 hours per day (around 25 devices for a client,we have multiple clients). We have a windows dedicated server we are planning to build our web-service in SOA architecture ,We have giving dedicated db for each client,What is the best approach for this scenario.

Just another case study for your consideration. I have implemented similar scenario using Heroku in combination with golang and PostgreSQL. I have collected location in 2 category one is single pinpoint location and other one is in path mode. As you have said you are planning to use multiple db which can avoided by introducing userId of something to identify source/client.

Edit: 2

Collection of coordinates was to keep track on how device moved and where it was at particular time.

Path of device

Create a WCF service that Sends and recieve JSON data, I had a similar requirement to yours. and i built one using this link http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/167159/How-to-create-a-JSON-WCF-RESTful-Service-in-sec. and it works well. though we did not send location every 10s. insteaad the location was stored locally and then dumped to server at regular intervals say an hour and the local db was cleared

Edit: how to receive json data can be found here How to accept JSON in a WCF DataService?

Not sure which aspect of a solution you are asking about but i can share our experience from similar project.

We have android/iphone applications that observe users gps locations and then report them to web app we did through ASP Web Api. Web Api is, of course, connected to db which aside from storing locations is also used for users management. In our case db is not partitioned to be single tenant but its a multi tenant instead. In your case, you should handle finding out correct db for given user in your web app.

Bear in mind that heavy gps sensor usage will drain your battery. Useful read on that topic is here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/location/strategies.html
