The Moxa device uses DFS channels. What if high-priority users (commercial live broadcasting, satellite links, weather radars, military radars) force your AP to change channels and re-negotiate with clients? There will be a short break. What if the whole 5 GHz band gets jammed by military for days as it was done at this year's WEF meeting in Davos, Suisse, forcing nearby Pharos CPE backhauls to stop working at all in an area of 60+ km around the event location? Did you consider this?

if the EAPs have to re-negotiate with clients, there is a big chance that this will happen while the cablecar is not moving, if it happens during movement, it will issue a E-Stop.

This risk is always taken when working with radio connection. there is no garantee that it will never be disturbed.

Keep in mind that Omada mesh uses a proprietary protocol, it's not an 802.11s based mesh network (just in case you want wirelessly mesh the Moxa with EAPs – that won't work). You can use STA-to-AP links, though, if the mesh is just for the backhaul between EAPs, but the mesh links are affected by DFS/TPC, too.

The mesh is just used for the EAPs. The connection to the moving gondola will then be a standard 802.11 wifi connection (like it would be with any other client)
