A monitor and control unit associated with a land-based controller and a plurality of satellites, where each satellite has a satellite region within which there is provided voice and data capabilities to one or more mobile vessels located in the respective satellite region, and where each mobile vessel has a mobile-based controller, the monitor and control unit is configured to:

  • store location information for each satellite region;

    receive location information for each mobile vessel;

    analyze the location information for each mobile vessel and the location information for each satellite region to determine a number of mobile vessels located in each satellite region;

    determine an available transport bandwidth for each mobile vessel in each satellite region; and

    interface with each mobile-based controller located on each mobile vessel through the land-based controller to dynamically configure each mobile-based controller to provide voice and data capabilities based on the respective available transport bandwidth that was determined for the respective mobile vessel.
