Abstract
A system and method for networked geofencing includes identifying restricted areas in a service region, and defining a protective zone surrounding the restricted areas. A service availability map containing the protective zones is generated and broadcast within the service region. The positions of terminals on the service availability map are detected relative to the protective zones. Terminals inside the protective zones establish communication using a first frequency range, and terminals outside of the protective zones establish communication using either the first frequency range or a second frequency range.
