A system and method for automatically directing a communication antenna to point to a desired wireless communication transceiver, is presented herein. The system includes a position location receiver, which receives signals indicating the position location information of the antenna and a position location transmitter and a processing mechanism, which determines calibration information of the antenna. The calibration information is achieved by first establishing a reference vector between the location of the antenna and position location transmitter and establishing a vector reference space and then calculate the necessary elevation and azimuthal components, within the vector reference space, to identify the proper calibration of the antenna. Once the calibration information has been determined, an alignment mechanism automatically orients the antenna. The alignment mechanism then automatically directs the oriented antenna to point to the wireless transceiver, based on the directional location information of the wireless transceiver.
