A computer-implemented method for providing data communication to and from a vehicle, the method comprising: receiving, at at least one processor, at least one request for data communication including at least guaranteed-delivery data from at least one user on the vehicle between a computing device associated with the at least one user and an external network; identifying, at the at least one processor, whether communication links are currently available at a current location of the vehicle for communication to the external network by way of at least one communication interfaces; maintaining, by the at least one processor, route information and historical connection information in relation to locations along a route that the vehicle will travel through, including at least data communication characteristics of a plurality of communication links at the locations along the route; forming, at the at least one processor, an adaptive bonded communication link using two or more communication links to aggregate throughput across the two or more communication links for the requested data communication between a bonding server and a complementary de-bonding server, the adaptive bonded communication link dynamically formed and re-adjusted as the vehicle moves, using one or more subsets of available communication links of the plurality of communication links to aggregate throughput across the one or more subsets of available communication links for the requested data communication; upon an identification that suitable communication links are not available, at a particular time, between the bonding server and the complementary de-bonding server at the current location, storing the guaranteed-delivery data of the at least one request for data communication on a transport buffer; and upon an identification that a suitable communication link becomes available between the bonding server and the complementary de-bonding server at the current location at a later time, transmitting the guaranteed-delivery data of the at least one request for data communication stored on the transport buffer; communicating, using the adaptive bonded communication link, responsive to the at least one request for data communication, transcoded or transformed data that is transcoded or transformed in accordance with data communication requirements for the requested data communication and data communication characteristics of the two or more communication links. receiving, at at least one processor, at least one request for data communication including at least guaranteed-delivery data from at least one user on the vehicle between a computing device associated with the at least one user and an external network; identifying, at the at least one processor, whether communication links are currently available at a current location of the vehicle for communication to the external network by way of at least one communication interfaces; maintaining, by the at least one processor, route information and historical connection information in relation to locations along a route that the vehicle will travel through, including at least data communication characteristics of a plurality of communication links at the locations along the route; forming, at the at least one processor, an adaptive bonded communication link using two or more communication links to aggregate throughput across the two or more communication links for the requested data communication between a bonding server and a complementary de-bonding server, the adaptive bonded communication link dynamically formed and re-adjusted as the vehicle moves, using one or more subsets of available communication links of the plurality of communication links to aggregate throughput across the one or more subsets of available communication links for the requested data communication; upon an identification that suitable communication links are not available, at a particular time, between the bonding server and the complementary de-bonding server at the current location, storing the guaranteed-delivery data of the at least one request for data communication on a transport buffer; and upon an identification that a suitable communication link becomes available between the bonding server and the complementary de-bonding server at the current location at a later time, transmitting the guaranteed-delivery data of the at least one request for data communication stored on the transport buffer; communicating, using the adaptive bonded communication link, responsive to the at least one request for data communication, transcoded or transformed data that is transcoded or transformed in accordance with data communication requirements for the requested data communication and data communication characteristics of the two or more communication links.
