Frequently Asked Questions

What is a school Bus Wi-Fi solution?
A school Bus Wi-Fi solution is a system that provides wireless internet connectivity within a school bus, allowing students to stay connected during their commute.  
How does a school Bus Wi-Fi solution work?
A school bus Wi-Fi solution typically works by using a router that connects to a network to provide internet access. The router creates a Wi-Fi network within the bus that students can connect to.
Is the Wi-Fi connection secure?
Yes, the Wi-Fi connection provided by the C1 SmartRide solution is secure. It uses WPA2 or WPA3 encryption to protect your data. However, as with any public Wi-Fi, it’s recommended to use a VPN for additional security. 
Can C1 create secure web filtering other than through a router?
Yes, C1 can configure the router to tunnel traffic back to the school firewall through a VPN, which includes professional services.
