OnBoard Wifi for a Bus

[HansP]

Who provides mobile/onboard wifi solutions for passenger busses?

I'm pretty sure somebody will give a proper answer. I can only suggest asking the guys at Miro Distribution if any of their clients specialise in it? I see the units used for this on display when I pick up stock.

Most LTE routers are 12v. Find a cable that fits the cigarette lighter socket on one end and a LTE router on the other and you're sorted

What you think of a Mifi router? Easier to hide, currently thinking of giving that a trial.

That could work too, depending on the size of the bus

Size of the bus and number of connections/clients - Mifi routers I've seen can only handle up to 10 but there could be others with a higher capacity.

Wonderful! Thank you guys for your answers and suggestions, much appreciated. I'll explore the ideas you've proposed.
My bus would take 20 passengers ...
And, if anyone else can assist - please post your suggestions!

You’re welcome. Out of curiosity, what is the name of your bus company and where are you situated?

Look into power supply too. USB ports to start.

Good luck with the venture!
