Description
The Mimosa B5 backhaul radio is, hands down, the easiest to use and highest capacity unlicensed 5 GHz backhaul solution for short and mid-range link applications. It’s ideal for collocation applications, relay sites, and building-to-building settings.
Incredibly Fast and Flexible
Recognized as the fastest unlicensed backhaul in the industry. Extensive bandwidth control options, low latency, reserved bandwidth, and GPS sync mode mean peak performance
Monitor with Ease
Assessing link health and identifying potential problems has never been easier. Links are instantly monitored by our Mimosa Cloud service with rich data collection and analysis.
Ultra Rugged
Carrier-grade IP67 design allows the B5 to withstand the harshest of environmental conditions.
Just Mount and Go
The integrated, high-gain antenna and super easy quick mount lets you install in minutes.
Easily Add New Links
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.
Double Reliability
Tames unlicensed spectrum interference via custom engineered multi-channel and auto-everything technology. As good as two smart links in one radio.
APPLICATIONS
Building to Building
Relay Sites
Tower and Collocation Sites
ULTRA RUGGED
Carrier grade IP67 design allows the B5 and the B5c to withstand the harshest of environmental conditions
JUST MOUNT AND GO
The integrated high gain antenna, and super easy quick mount lets you install the B5 in minutes, and accurately aim it with your smartphone via Wi-Fi.
EASILY ADD NEW LINKS
Typical backhaul solutions waste spectrum with every link installed and impacting network capacity. Unique high precision GPS Sync technology allows Mimosa B5 and B5c products to reuse the same channel network wide, and up to 4 links can auto-coordinate.

DOUBLE RELIABILITY
Unlicensed spectrum can be unpredictable. So Mimosa custom engineered unique multi-channel and auto-everything technology to protect your links when you encounter interference. The B5 and B5c automatically keep your links up with two independent operating channels, and adapting using our auto-everything technology to resolve problems proactively to deliver optimal link speed and reliability. It's like 2 smart links in a single radio!
INCREDIBLY FAST. INCREDIBLY FLEXIBLE.
Awarded the fastest unlicensed backhaul in the industry, the B5 and B5c also provide extensive bandwidth control options. Dynamic modes automatically adapt with traffic demand and provide ultra low ~1ms link latency for sensitive voice and video communications services. While reserved bandwidth and GPS sync modes allow symmetric or 75/25 traffic direction reservation.
MONITOR WITH EASE, AND SO MUCH MORE
Immediately after install, your links are ready to be monitored via the free Mimosa Cloud service. With vast data collection and analysis, assessing link health and identifying potential problems has never been easier. For rich analytics and historical data collection, and problem notifications, the Mimosa Cloud+ service is available to monitor your entire network for only $99 USD per year.
