Mimosa B5x PTP Backhaul Integrated Antenna
The Mimosa B5x is one of the industry’s fastest unlicensed, point-to-point (PTP), backhaul solutions. It’s ideal for short to medium range relay and tower links, custom-engineered collocation, and licensed 4.9 GHz spectrum. It’s modular, with the ability to connect X-series compatible twist-on antennas (12 dBi horn, 16 dBi horn, 20 dBi dish, 25 dBi dish).
Mimosa B5x Key Features
- Wide Frequency Range
- Beamforming Technology
- Optimised 360º Performance
Fast and Flexible
As one of the highest capacity, unlicensed PTP solutions in the industry, it delivers up to 1.5 Gbps (IP). 160 MHz of aggregate channel capacity and GPS Sync mode provide flexibility for performance.
Double Reliability
Tame unlicensed spectrum interference via custom-engineered multi-channel and auto-everything technology—as good as two smart links in one radio.
Extended Frequency
Rise above the noise with extended frequency support from 4.9–6.4 GHz.
Ultra Rugged
Carrier-grade IP67 design allows the B5x to withstand the harshest of environmental conditions.
Easily Add New Links
The B5x is spectrum friendly. Unique, high-precision GPS Sync technology reuses the same channel network wide. Keep adding more capacity to more sites and waste less spectrum.
Monitor With Ease
Assessing link health and identifying potential problems has never been easier. Links are instantly monitored from the Mimosa management platform.
