Method and mobile transceiver having advanced network selection

A mobile transceiver, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory coupled to the processor;
• a plurality of wireless transceivers coupled to the processor;
• wherein the processor is configured to cause the mobile transceiver to:
• determine whether a current location of the mobile transceiver corresponds to a waypoint in a pre-programmed travel itinerary, the travel itinerary being stored in a memory of the mobile transceiver and defining a plurality of waypoints along a planned route, each of the waypoints defining a location, the waypoints including an origin endpoint, a destination endpoint and intermediate locations between the origin endpoint and destination endpoint;
• in response to a determination that the current location corresponds to a waypoint in the travel itinerary:
• determine whether one of a plurality of wireless transceivers has been predetermined for the waypoint;
• in response to a determination that the one of the plurality of wireless transceivers has been predetermined for the waypoint:
• activate the predetermined wireless transceiver from the plurality of wireless transceivers from a low power mode in accordance with the waypoint corresponding to the current location or a wake-up event;
• and
• in response to a determination that none of the plurality of wireless transceivers has been predetermined for the waypoint:
• initiate a low power mode for the mobile transceiver.

A non-transitory machine readable medium having tangibly stored thereon executable instructions that, in response to execution by a processor of a mobile transceiver, cause the mobile transceiver to:

• determine whether a current location of the mobile transceiver corresponds to a waypoint in a pre-programmed travel itinerary, the travel itinerary being stored in a memory of the mobile transceiver and defining a plurality of waypoints along a planned route, each of the waypoints defining a location, the waypoints including an origin endpoint, a destination endpoint and intermediate locations between the origin endpoint and destination endpoint;
• in response to a determination that the current location corresponds to a waypoint in the travel itinerary:
• determine whether one of a plurality of wireless transceivers has been predetermined for the waypoint;
• in response to a determination that the one of the plurality of wireless transceivers has been predetermined for the waypoint:
• activate the predetermined wireless transceiver from the plurality of wireless transceivers from a low power mode in accordance with the waypoint corresponding to the current location or a wake-up event;
• and
• in response to a determination that none of the plurality of wireless transceivers has been predetermined for the waypoint:
• initiate a low power mode for the mobile transceiver.
