Closing the Homework Gap

School Bus Wi-Fi: A Cost-Effective Way to Bridge the Homework Gap

Students without internet at home face additional barriers to completing their homework, have lower graduation rates, and score lower on standardized tests when compared to their well-connected peers – even before the pandemic.

Kajeet SmartBus™ delivers safe, reliable, CIPA-filtered school bus Wi-Fi, allowing students to keep learning while they travel—up to 65 students connected per bus. Works for daily routes, athletics, field trips, mobile STEM labs, and bookmobiles.

School Bus Wi-Fi

Power student learning—and your fleet tech—on a single secure connection.

Students spend hours on buses each week; without connectivity, that time becomes lost learning and adds distractions for drivers. With SmartBus™, districts can extend equitable access beyond the last bell, create calmer rides, and recover instructional time—without adding IT overhead—while also providing the secure connectivity backbone that powers other bus technologies, such as GPS/AVL, cameras, telematics, student ridership systems, and driver tablets.
