1. A method comprising:
- at a hub station, receiving location data from a satellite antenna controller coupled to a first frequency band satellite transmitter and to a second frequency band satellite transmitter of a vehicle;
receiving data related to the satellite antenna controller or the vehicle while the vehicle is en route, and storing the data in a memory, wherein the data includes a location, a satellite transmission band, or any combination thereof, and wherein the data is at least one of;
transmitted to a regulatory authority of a jurisdiction or received periodically;
retrieving geo-fence data from a geo-fence database, the geo-fence data corresponding to a boundary of the jurisdiction;
comparing the location data and the geo-fence data; and
based on the comparison, sending at least one command to the controller based on a requirement of the jurisdiction, wherein the at least one command indicates a selection of the first band satellite frequency transmitter or the second band satellite frequency transmitter.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations including:
-
receiving, at a hub station, location data from a satellite antenna controller coupled to a first frequency band satellite transmitter and to a second frequency band satellite transmitter of a vehicle; receiving data related to the satellite antenna controller or the vehicle while the vehicle is en route, wherein the data includes a location, a satellite transmission band, or any combination thereof; storing the data in memory; determining whether a geo-fence database of the vehicle is out of date; and when the geo-fence database of the vehicle is out of date, updating the geo-fence database of the vehicle from a master database. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)
