Mobile wireless bridge

Hi Everyone,

Looking for some suggestions or feedback on how to implement what I'd call a mobile wireless bridge.  In our manufacturing environment we have a "mobile crane" that needs a bridge from our wireless access points into the mobile crane. The mobile crane typically will have another network switch and multiple Ethernet devices inside it. We need a solution that would place stationary root bridges or access points along the track this crane operates on and have the crane have another access point, antenna or bridge to connect and roam quickly between the root access points.

Thanks in advance for any feedback or suggestions you may have.

matt.

Work Group Bridge (WGB) is a solution for this where you configure Crane AP role as " Work Group Bridge". Refer this design guide for such deployment

Refer this document for roaming optimization require for WGB
