A mobile communication system for sending data to one or more satellite resources over a wireless connection includes one or more processors and a memory coupled to the processors. The memory stores data into a database and program code that, when executed by the processors, causes the mobile communication system to receive a primary service data stream and a secondary service data stream, and determine a bandwidth utilization efficiency of the wireless connection between the mobile communication system and the one or more satellite resources. In response to determining the wireless connection has available headroom, the primary service data stream is combined with the secondary service data stream to create an aggregated data packet. In response to determining the aggregated data packet is less than or equal to the size of the available headroom, the mobile communication system transmits the aggregated data packet over the wireless connection.

Mobile communication system employing active bandwidth management

A vehicle communication system includes an optical cable, a centralized hub device, and an antenna hub device. The centralized hub device is connected to a first end of the optical cable and is configured to receive radio frequency (RF) signals from multiple end devices. The centralized hub device is configured to convert the RF signals to respective optical carrier signals and transmit the optical carrier signals along the optical cable at different, non-overlapping wavelength bands of a combined optical signal. The antenna hub device is connected to a second end of the optical cable. The antenna hub device is configured to receive the combined optical signal and to convert the optical carrier signals thereof to RF signals, amplify the RF signals, and transmit the RF signals to one or more antennas.

Vehicle communication system

Systems and methods for interfacing with an aircraft cabin control system are provided. One system includes a controller configured to control cabin services associated with one or more passengers, a portable electronic device configured to wirelessly connect to the controller and a seat location identifier associated with a seat of one passenger of the passengers. The system further includes an application on the portable electronic device that interfaces with the controller when the portable electronic device is wirelessly connected to the controller, wherein the application controls the cabin services associated with the seat of the one passenger.
