Location-based selection of a satellite transmitter of a vehicle
A method includes receiving location, retrieving geo-fence data from a geo-fence database corresponding to a boundary of a jurisdiction, and automatically selecting between a first or second frequency band satellite transmitter based on the comparison.
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.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one command further indicates a transmit frequency, a receive frequency, a symbol rate, a modulation type, a forward error correction configuration, or any combination thereof.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising storing the data in a memory, wherein the data is received while the vehicle is moving.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data further includes a symbol rate, a modulation type, a forward error correction configuration, a carrier power level, or any combination thereof.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the hub station is land based.
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.
7. The computer-readable storage device of claim 6 , wherein the at least one command further indicates a transmit frequency, a receive frequency, a symbol rate, a modulation type, a forward error correction configuration, or any combination thereof.
8. The computer-readable storage device of claim 6 , wherein the operations further comprise storing the data in a memory, wherein the data is received while the vehicle is moving.
9. The computer-readable storage device of claim 6 , wherein the data further includes a symbol rate, a modulation type, a forward error correction configuration, a carrier power level, or any combination thereof.
10. The computer-readable storage device of claim 6 , wherein the hub station is land based.
11. A system comprising:
a hub station configured to:
receive 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;
transmit 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, send 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.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the at least one command further indicates a transmit frequency, a receive frequency, a symbol rate, a modulation type, a forward error correction configuration, or any combination thereof.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the hub station is further configured to store the data in a memory, wherein the data is received while the vehicle is moving.
14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the data further includes a symbol rate, a modulation type, a forward error correction configuration, a carrier power level, or any combination thereof.
15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the hub station is land based.
