Abstract
A method and system to execute an event responsive to a roving unit being located within a certain region are described. In a method embodiment, the location of a roving unit is determined and a defined geographic region in which the roving unit lies is determined. An event is then identified, wherein the event has been defined to be executed when the roving unit is located within the defined region. Finally, the identified event is executed.

25. A communication system comprising:
-
a radio operable in at least a first mode and a second mode, wherein the radio is configured to communicate with a first base station associated with a first geographic region when the radio is operating in the first mode and wherein the radio is configured to communicate with a second base station associated with a second geographic region when the radio is operating in the second mode;
location determining means configured to determine the geographic location of the radio; and
a logic device connected to the radio and to the location determining means, the logic device configured at least to change the operation of the radio between the first mode and the second mode responsive to the location determining means determining that the geographic location of the radio is within the second region.
