  • Patent number: 11063821
    Abstract: Systems and methods for the remote update and distribution of configuration information in a communication network made up of a plurality of nodes some of which are mobile and some of which are fixed in location. Updated information for configuring the nodes may be updated using different types of routes through the communication network, where some routes may be direct from a node to a location of an update, some routes may pass through another node, and some routes may be used only when a certain communication technology is available. The nodes may be dynamically configured based on a number of factors.

  • Publication number: 20180316764
    Abstract: A request from a mobile access point that is installed on a vehicle may be received via network interface circuitry of one or more computing devices. Processing circuitry of the one or more computing devices may determine characteristics of a captive portal to present in response to the request based on current location of the vehicle and mobile access point. A captive portal with the determined characteristics is then provided by the processing circuitry, via the network interface circuitry, in response to the request.
