Nancy, A few more thoughts about your project ...
This can be useful for: -foreign visitors, because most of them do not have data plans in the US, or if they do it is quite expensive (when I went to a conference in Ireland I was pleased to have free Wi-Fi in buses) -Poorly covered areas where that bus becomes the only decent connectivity available (so, if this is the case, make sure to pick a LTE/4G provider that has great coverage, great throughput, and large data quotas :) If the bus crosses mostly urban areas with nice coverage and your students have on average really good cellular data plans, it might be wasteful! Do you have a large population of Foreign Students/Faculty? I wouldn't use 802.1X for that project, and that is coming from the eduroam guys :( if using 802.1X (eduroam or local) in the bus… even people with decent data plans that could use their own will automatically join your hotspot since Wi-Fi is usually preferred by devices, making it not so usable for the people who really need it. Those people will have to manually disable Wi-Fi to force their device on LTE. Also, while the bus is driving around town, even people outside the bus will join it (the nature of 802.1X). This could be a mess!
