Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: identifying, by a controller device in a repeating system implemented in a vehicle, that the vehicle has entered a geographic region based on receiving information from a location device that detects a location of the vehicle; receiving, by the controller device, a network signal via a passive-mode antenna device included in the vehicle; identifying, by the controller device, a particular frequency of the network signal or a particular header data included in the network signal; activating, by the controller device in the repeating system implemented in the vehicle, an active-mode antenna device, different than the passive-mode antenna device and implemented in the repeating system, based on identifying that the vehicle has entered the geographic area and based on identifying the particular frequency of the network signal or the particular header data included in the network signal, causing, by the controller device, an amplification device, included in the repeating system, to receive the network signal, amplify the network signal to form the amplified network signal, and provide the amplified network signal for transmission by the active-mode antenna device.
