Kajeet, a leader in managed IoT connectivity solutions, has launched Kajeet Transit, a rider engagement solution designed to enhance public transit experiences through secure rider Wi-Fi, digital signage, and targeted advertising opportunities. In collaboration with Long Beach Transit, the pilot program debuted across 25 buses in January 2025, delivering a new level of convenience, communication, and connectivity for passengers.
Since the launch last month, over 2000 unique riders have logged into the system, demonstrating the solution’s ability to engage transit users effectively. Kajeet Transit empowers transit agencies with:
- Rider Wi-Fi with Captive Portal – A secure, branded internet access point for passengers.
- Passenger Information Display System – Dynamic visual communication channels for route-specific service updates, public announcements, and advertising.
- Kajeet-Enabled Cellular Router – Secure, managed connectivity powered by Sentinel, ensuring reliable performance.
Beyond enhancing the rider experience, the solution drives revenue opportunities for transit agencies by enabling local and national advertising through Kajeet’s integrated advertising platform. The captive portal also supports direct rider engagement, allowing transit agencies to build active databases for ongoing communication.
