Antamedia Cloud WiFi is compatible with the 5G routers and WiFi APs listed on this page and can be deployed in transport networks such as buses, plains, trains, etc…
Use supported models to run captive portal login, vouchers or free access, and centralized cloud management, while integrating with external RADIUS.
Each recommended model below is commonly used for mobile WiFi deployments and can be integrated as the gateway, access point, or both, depending on your vehicle layout and coverage requirements.

(vehicle-grade)
Cradlepoint
(vehicle-grade)
Ericsson Cradlepoint R1900 (5G, Wi-Fi 6)
Why it fits buses: purpose-built for in-vehicle deployments; ruggedized; Wi-Fi 6; supports ignition sensing and vehicle transient protection.
Power: 9–36 VDC input (so 12V is supported), with guidance on in-line fusing for vehicle installs.
Ericsson Cradlepoint R980 (5G, Wi-Fi 6)
Why it fits buses: compact ruggedized 5G router often used in vehicles; Wi-Fi 6.
Power: 9–36 VDC input (12V supported), with in-line fuse requirement for vehicle installs.
Ericsson Cradlepoint R2100 (roof-mounted integrated unit, optional Wi-Fi 6)
Why it fits buses: designed to mount on the vehicle roof; integrates modem + antennas + router into one aerodynamic rugged enclosure (simplifies installs vs separate antennas/coax). Ericsson+1
Power: 9–36 VDC input (12V supported) or 802.3at PoE.
The datasheet states 5 GHz Wi-Fi use in the European Union is limited to client mode on this model. If you need 5 GHz as a passenger AP in the EU, plan on an additional in-cabin AP.

(cost-effective; not vehicle-rugged)
MikroTik Chateau 5G ax (Wi-Fi 6, 5G)
Why it fits buses: single-box 5G + Wi-Fi 6 router; widely available; RouterOS gives you strong control (QoS, firewall, VLANs, captive portal integrations, etc.).
Power: 12–28 V DC input (12V supported).
MikroTik Chateau 5G R17 ax (Wi-Fi 6, 5G Release 17 modem)
Why it fits buses: similar “all-in-one” concept with a newer 5G modem generation.
Power: listed as 12–28 V DC operating voltage by a major MikroTik reseller.
Teltonika
Teltonika
Teltonika RUTX50 (5G + dual-band Wi-Fi)
Common “all-in-one” onboard gateway for vehicles (5G WAN + Wi-Fi for passengers + LAN ports for cameras/PoS/telemetry).
Power: 9–50 VDC input (12V supported).
Captive portal / RADIUS: supports a captive portal (Hotspot) with internal/external RADIUS per Teltonika’s published specs.
Teltonika RUTM51 (5G + dual-band Wi-Fi)
Similar role to RUTX50; often selected where you want a 5G router with Wi-Fi plus Teltonika’s industrial feature set.
Power: 9–50 VDC input (12V supported).
Teltonika RUTM52 (Dual-5G + Wi-Fi)
Higher-end bus deployments needing dual 5G modems, load balancing, and fast switchover (more resilient connectivity in motion).
Power: 9–50 VDC input (12V supported).
Teltonika options without Wi-Fi

Teltonika TRB500 (5G gateway – no Wi-Fi)
Use TRB500 as the 5G uplink gateway and deploy dedicated interior AP(s) for passenger Wi-Fi.
Teltonika positions it as an industrial 5G gateway (Wi-Fi is not the point of this model).
Teltonika interior APs
(if you need to extend cabin coverage)
Teltonika interior APs
(if you need to extend cabin coverage)
Teltonika’s DAP-series APs are industrial “coverage extenders” (useful for low/medium density or as a controlled AP), but note they are Wi-Fi 4 class and not “high-density coach” Wi-Fi in the enterprise sense.
Teltonika DAP140 (Industrial AP)
Wi-Fi 4 + mesh/fast roaming. Teltonika Networks+1
Power: 9–30 VDC input (12V supported) or passive PoE.
Teltonika DAP142 (Industrial AP with RS232)
Wi-Fi 4 + mesh/fast roaming (plus RS232 for industrial use cases).
