Description
The Mimosa B5c is the industry’s fastest connectorized unlicensed and public safety connectivity solution, allowing virtually any antenna to be used for long distance point-to-point backhaul. The B5c is ideal for long-range relay and tower links, and custom engineered collocation. It is also suitable for licensed Public Safety operation on the 4.9 GHz spectrum.
Ultra Rugged
Carrier-grade IP67 design allows the B5c to withstand the harshest of environmental conditions.
Double Reliability
Tames unlicensed spectrum interference via custom engineered multi-channel and auto-everything technology. As good as two smart links in one radio.
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.
Easily Add New Links
The B5c 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 by our Mimosa Cloud service with rich data collection and analysis.

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 two 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.
