Abstract: A method and a system for receiving streaming media from an external provider onboard a moving vehicle via wireless communication is disclosed. The method includes: checking, upon a request from a client device to obtain a streaming media from said external provider, whether a segment of said streaming media is available in the cache or not; forwarding, when a segment of the requested streaming media is available in the cache, the segment of the streaming media object to the client device from the cache; downloading, when the segment of the requested streaming media is not available in the cache, the segment of the streaming media object from the external server, and forwarding the downloaded segment to the client device, and storing the segment in the cache.

Abstract: A method and system for wireless communication between a moving vehicle and a remote server through at least one external mobile network are disclosed. The at least one exterior mobile network provides at least two concurrently useable data links. The method includes: providing at least one router in the moving vehicle for receiving and transmitting wireless data communication to and from a stationary communication server outside the moving vehicle through the at least one exterior mobile network; evaluating the quality of the data links on a host layer by repeatedly sending requests arranged to trigger a determinable automated response to the stationary communication server via the data links, and measure the time until the triggered automated responses are received; and assigning data streams to the data links at least partly based on the evaluated quality.
