Daniel, Several years back Cisco had a similar setup in some transportation busses for their Cisco Live conference to showcase some technology. The devices would give wifi access to passengers over cellular when away from the conference center and when the bus got close it would switch over to the conference wifi for the backhaul. They also had a small camera in the bus transmitting footage back to the demo booth.
They did this with Cisco 819 hardened routers. Since then we have implemented a similar setup in our police squads. While it works great the only concern I would have for a bus load of students is the speed of the cellular connection and carrier download caps and overage billing. If you want to know more about what we did let me know.

I have really enjoyed being a part of this group and have learned quite a bit so you thank you to all members. Recently I was asked If there was a way we could supply wireless connectivity in our athletic buses for student athletes as they travel to sporting events. My thoughts would be some kind of cellular network hot spot that the students could log into with their devices. I was wondering if other Universities have attempted anything like this or have any hot spot devices they would recommend for this use. Appreciate any feedback on this topic.
