Abstract: The multiband mobile SATCOM terminal is a small form factor, multi-band, multi-function, modular, vehicular-based tactical communications terminal that cross-bands radio and satellite systems for constant on the move communications.

Abstract: The information required to configure a device for each network that a device encounters is stored for subsequent retrieval. Thereafter, when the device re-encounters each network, this information is used to automate the configuration of the device to access the encountered network. To uniquely distinguish each network, the network identifier is created via a hierarchical process that combines the network's service set identifier (SSID), the Internet protocol (IP) address, and the access device's MAC address.
