Abstract: Relativistic positioning systems provide tensors represented in $\{\ell\ell\ell\ell\}$-frames ($\ell$ for light) dual to systems of emission coordinates. We show that any Lorentzian metric field given in such a frame is isometrically equivalent to a generic metric field defined by only four positive functions depending on another specific system of emission coordinates.
