Extend Education Beyond

the Classroom with

Reliable Passenger Wi-Fi

1

Across the country, school districts are using technology to give their students a richer, more meaningful

education. High-speed Internet access on school buses enables children to have the best start in today's

society.

• Onboard multi-SIM Wi-Fi solutions will always offer a more reliable Internet experience compared to

students having to rely on their own smart device’s cellular network connection.

• One reason for this is that passengers' devices usually rely on a single network’s coverage and not all

networks will be able to guarantee comprehensive coverage along every route.

• It is therefore better to use an onboard Internet solution that can intelligently aggregate signals from

multiple cellular data networks.

• While many phones have 3G/4G cellular data capability built-in, many children do not have the means to

pay for these expensive data plans.

• Additionally, tablets and laptops are the more favorable option when studying and the majority of these

devices still rely on onboard Wi-Fi to remain connected to the Internet.

• With the average student spending approximately 50 minutes traveling to and from school per day, a high-

quality Internet connection throughout the journey unlocks a significant quantity of additional study time

over the course of an academic year.

Icomera's platform is the best option to provide a fast, reliable Internet connection to students using their

travel time as additional learning time.

School districts have reported that

installing school bus Wi-Fi can also

increase graduation rates by as much as

14%, particularly in deprived areas, where

children who do not have access to Wi-Fi

at home, can use their travel time as an

additional study period.

• Providing K-12 students with Internet access brings a responsibility to

exclusively for educational purposes.

• Icomera’s tools allow schools to block individual domains and pre-set

categories (e.g. adult, gaming), tailored to the operator’s requirements.

• Web filters may be added-on to enforce compliance, safety, and flexible-

access policies.

• Icomera's in-vehicle cellular routers have built-in GPS, allowing school bus

operators to keep track of vehicles to maintain and improve management

and safety of the children using the service.

• Bus location is always tracked, therefore it is possible to find out where

students are on their journey.

• Safety is, and continues to be, the number one priority for transport

authorities and operators.

• Icomera's platform lays the foundation for other Internet enabled services

and offers the potential to protect the students on your buses by streaming

high-quality images and data from onboard surveillance systems in real-

time, leading to faster and more appropriate responses.
