Implementation of Internet access in suburban public buses using wireless technology

Abstract

This paper presents a method how public transportation companies can increase profit providing extra services to customers, without huge investments and maintenance costs. Here, we present how Internet access can be realized in a bus using GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA, while customers (i.e. passengers) use WiFi connection. In this paper, we explain why it is more effective to use WiFi compared to the Bluetooth. As access point and router, in the proposed solution, we use MikroTik server.

Keywords: access point, Интернет приступ, EDGE, GPRS, HSDP, микротик, wireless.
