I don't think any of our libraries are currently trying to run the staff client live on their bookmobiles - they typically use the standalone client for circulation and then process the offline transactions when they get back to their base.
We have not yet tested how well the web client will work on a cell connection, but hopefully it will be a lot more usable.

Our county has fairly good cell coverage and the laptops get 3G or LTE at most stops. Despite this, the staff client runs poorly on the Bookmobile (slowness, error messages etc.). Equinox provided us with a technical explanation of why this is so which is reasonable. Are any other libraries out there running Evergreen on a Bookmobile using a cell connection? If so, are you experiencing latency? If yes, how do you work around it?
