1. A system for a vehicle comprising:
- an embedded first modem;
an embedded second modem;
a vehicle location controller; and
a processor configured to, responsive to occurrence of a predetermined event,collect a vehicle location from the vehicle location controller;
wirelessly transmit the vehicle location offboard the vehicle via a voice call established by the first modem, andwirelessly transmit the vehicle location to the server via a data call established by the second modem to a remote monitoring service, the data call being established independent of establishment of the voice call,wherein the first modem is configured for a first cellular network, and the second modem is configured for a second cellular network that differs from the first cellular network, and the data call and the voice call occur contemporaneously.

Abstract
Systems and methods for generating multiple vehicle communications in response to an event include a vehicle having a first embedded modem, a second embedded modem, and a processor. The processor is configured to identify occurrence of a predetermined event. Responsive to occurrence of the predetermined event, the processor is configured to wirelessly transmit a vehicle location offboard the vehicle via a voice call established by the first embedded modem and via a data call established by the second embedded modem for a remote monitoring service.
