1. A system to be equipped in a transportation vessel/vehicle, comprising:
a mobile cache to store multimedia content to be provided on the transportation vessel/vehicle;
a first network interface to establish a wireless link to one or more content providers prior to the transportation vessel/vehicle arriving at a designated location; and
a second network interface including a first plurality of wireless network antennas, wherein upon the transportation vessel/vehicle arriving at the designated location, each of the first plurality of wireless network antennas to be paired with at least one of a second plurality of wireless network antennas coupled with one or more edge caches at the designated location, the pairing to establish a plurality of simultaneous wireless links with the one or more edge caches to exchange multimedia content between the one or more edge caches and the mobile cache, the plurality of simultaneous wireless links having a higher bandwidth than the wireless link, wherein pairing the first plurality of wireless network antennas with the second plurality of wireless network antennas is based on matching service set identifiers between those of the second network interface and the one or more edge caches,
and wherein storing of multimedia content in the one or more edge caches at the designated location is determined based on a cache management policy.
