We put some gear on our shuttle buses that travel between campuses a few years ago. Basically a Cradlepoint router (Verizon LTE cellular backhaul with an ethernet hand off). That ethernet hand off goes to a wifi access point that is able to do dns lookup and find its controller (happens to be Meru but I know Aruba does supports similar mechanisms). Everything is tunneled back encrypted through the controller.
This has served us well for those students that enjoy a 45 minute commute between campuses.

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.
