Seamless hand-off of air-to-ground telephony calls is achieved autonomously within an aircraft by using one of at least two radio links to search for additional ground stations. The search for candidate ground stations for hand-off is expedited by eliminating ground stations exhibiting zero or negative Doppler effects. Other values indicating quality of the link corresponding to the channel over which the search is conducted is compared with the quality of the call and an alternate call is established using the call identification code previously established for the call in progress. The hand-off of the call may then be easily conducted by transferring the voice signal to the channel over which the search was conducted. This is preferably done at a time when the transmission quality of the two channels would be approximately the same or the quality improved on the channel to which hand-off is made.

Techniques for delivering data or information to a vehicle include a ground based data distribution system that has a ground based determination engine and port networks, and is communicatively connected to access networks. The ground based determination engine determines a content of the data to be delivered to the vehicle, and/or determines one or more predicted locations of the vehicle. The ground based system causes the data to be delivered to the one or more predicted locations, and, at a particular predicted location, the delivered data is transferred to the vehicle, such as by using an information distribution device that is on-board the vehicle. Determination of the data content and of the one or more predicted locations may be performed while the vehicle is en route or is at a port. Data delivery may occur while the vehicle is en route or is at a port.
