[OPLINTECH] Bookmobile connectivity

[Kyle Ledford]

I can agree with Josh...  The only thing I can recommend is check with the Verizon store and see if they have a demo unit or are willing to let you take one and a laptop and just drive around to your stops in a car and check connectivity. Also you might consider looking at the external antennas... I know the original ones we got at Newark had connectors and they take a specific type of antenna. It really depends on your area, coverage, and then how shielded the units are in the bookmobile. I probably wouldn't recommend anything else other than cellular unless you have no coverage.
