Service provider adaptive vehicle antenna

A vehicle comprising:

• a modem having a radio-frequency transceiver and an antenna controller;
• a plurality of antennas each associated with a different radio frequency, each of the plurality of antennas connected to a matching circuit configured to match impedance of a respective antenna to the radio-frequency transceiver, each of the matching circuits connected to an R/F switch controlled by the antenna controller to connect a selected one of the plurality of antennas to the radio-frequency transceiver;
• and
• a processor configured to
• determine whether a service-provider-recommended alternate frequency is available, responsive to service provider signal strength being below a predefined signal strength;
• and
• if so, direct the modem to switch to an antenna associated with the alternate frequency, and otherwise, cycle to a next available antenna frequency.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• determining a frequency associated with a desired service provider for communication by a modem of a vehicle via at least one selected antenna of a plurality of antennas each associated with a different radio frequency, the vehicle including a radio-frequency transceiver and an antenna control processor;
• and
• sending an antenna selection message to the antenna control processor to connect the selected antenna(s) to the radio-frequency transceiver,
• wherein each of the plurality of antennas is connected to a matching circuit configured to match impedance of the respective antenna to the transceiver, and each of the matching circuits is connected to an R/F switch controlled by the antenna control processor to connect a selected one of the plurality of antennas to the transceiver.
