System and methods are disclosed for remote management of mobile satellite antenna modules having an antenna subsystem module (ASM). An ASM periodically transmits a check-in message and metrics data to a server. The server analyzes the check-in message and metrics data to determine a state of operation of the antenna, and determine one or more management commands to improve the performance of the ASM. Information in the metrics data received from each ASM can be queried and processed using machine learning to determine correlation between attributes of the ASMs and performance of the ASMs.

Method and apparatus for remotely updating satellite devices

A combining apparatus for use in a satellite communication system and a method for using the same. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises: a plurality of antennas that each have a transmit aperture and a receive aperture and are operable to receive correlated signals from a satellite, wherein the receive aperture is operable to receive one of the signals from the satellite and determine its signal quality; a combiner communicably coupled to the plurality of antennas to combine multiple signals received from the plurality of antennas into one signal, wherein the combiner is operable to determine which signals received by the plurality of antennas are to be combined into the one signal based, at least in part, on at least one signal quality metric regarding the signals, the at least one signal quality metric being received from one or more tracking receivers external to the combiner; and a modem communicably coupled to receive the one signal from the combiner, wherein the modem is operable to send information to the plurality of antennas via the combiner as if only a single antenna is coupled to the combiner and the combiner is operable to aggregate information for the modem received from antennas in the plurality of antennas as if one single antenna provided the information to the combiner.
