Think I found them.

Using the update from the bottom of the page:

> … and M-Wave is authorized the 14-14.99 MHz at 16 kW.

I found this petition from M-Wave Networks, LLC for permission to build 4 towers in Kane County, Illinois: https://www.countyofkane.org/FDER/Zoning%20Petitions%20Docum...

The location in the petition is approx. 41.82907908782928, -88.4940281199101, which is about 16 miles (27 km) from the center coordinate of the TDOA map (41.60, -88.60). Not bad given the caveat of "the above location is likely accurate to only a few 10s of km at best."

The e-mail address in the petition has the domain tower-research.com, which is a high-frequency trading firm.

The only thing I'm confused about is that the zoning petition was discussed at the meeting on Dec 8th 2020. If it was approved, it seems remarkably fast to build a tower given that the article was from Dec 15th.

It makes sense they moved quickly, since there's a limited time period where they'd have this advantage over other firms which set up similar systems.
