Have you ever imagined school bus transportation with Wi-Fi? Till now, you may have thought of school means of transporting students to and from school. But today, in this world of technology, it is not a big deal to set Wi-Fi on school buses. Most of the school buses in US have already made Wi-Fi available to students.

 Evolution of Wi-Fi on school buses

At the beginning, Wi-Fi was used by students mainly for completing school work easily. Today, students are using the Internet to learn (online tutorials), complete projects, clear doubts and communicate with teachers anytime.

The only disadvantage is that students who are not residing near school are unable to get the advantage of Wi-Fi connection. But now, the situation has changed a lot. Now, school buses are parked in areas, where every student gets access to Internet services. This can be of great assistance to school-going students for completing school works (assignments, projects, prepare study notes) and for studies. Also, this subsequently helps to develop the learning capacity of students. 

Certainly, equipping school buses with Wi-Fi will also have a negative impact on school buses. Increased use of Wi-Fi can drain school bus batteries. But, this problem can be prevented by using solar panels. It has been proved helpful in certain districts in US. As the plan went successful, they installed Wi-Fi in 97 more school buses. When more students got Wi-Fi connection, the standard of education also got improved.

Another benefit of providing Wi-Fi connection to students in school buses is that there will be a significant reduction in discipline issues. Your child will never be bullied as bullies will get busy with Wi-Fi connection. Also, school bus drivers will never get distracted as students get less idle time.

Wi-Fi for better School Transportation

Wi-Fi not only provides Internet access to students but also helps in efficient school bus transportation Management. By using Internet, school authorities can inform drivers about route changes and student information by using school bus GPS tracking system. This also improves the communication between drivers and school authorities. Thus, it helps in ensuring student safety.

Obviously, school bus provides a crucial and impeccable service to students, parents as well as school authorities. As technology progresses, school buses should have more access to tools that help to ensure a perfect ride for students. This will not only keep them safe but also provides a good educational experience for your child.

Thus, Wi-Fi ensures safe school bus transportation and takes student's education to the next level.

Here are the key benefits of having Wi-Fi in school buses:

  • School bus becomes an extended classroom by  using the travel time productively 
  • Cheap, increased authenticity and easy to install cum manage
  • Quick connectivity in remote areas with fewer complexities

Installation of Wi-Fi devices on school bus can provide better education for all students. A sense of equality arises between students, as the child who resides in remote areas also get Internet connection without much complication. This is because the antenna connected on school buses will have the ability to pull strong signals.
