Location-based selection of a satellite transmitter of a vehicle
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- at a hub station, receiving data from a satellite antenna controller coupled to a vehicle, the satellite antenna controller coupled to a first frequency band satellite transmitter and to a second frequency band satellite transmitter of the vehicle, wherein the data includes a location of the vehicle;
transmitting the data to a system of a regulatory authority of a jurisdiction; and
based on determining that the location is within a threshold distance of a boundary of the jurisdiction, sending at least one command to the satellite antenna controller based on a requirement of the jurisdiction, wherein the at least one command indicates a selection of the first frequency band satellite transmitter or the second frequency band satellite transmitter.

6. A computer-readable storage device storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving, at a hub station, data from a satellite antenna controller coupled to a vehicle, the satellite antenna controller coupled to a first frequency band satellite transmitter and to a second frequency band satellite transmitter of the vehicle, wherein the data includes a location of the vehicle; initiating transmission of the data to a system of a regulatory authority of a jurisdiction; and based on determining that the location is within a threshold distance of a boundary of the jurisdiction, sending at least one command to the satellite antenna controller based on a requirement of the jurisdiction, wherein the at least one command indicates a selection of the first frequency band satellite transmitter or the second frequency band satellite transmitter. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
