Unleash Blazing-Fast, Fiber-Like Speeds with the Mimosa B5x Backhaul Radio
Experience a new era of wireless connectivity with the Mimosa B5x, one of the industry's fastest and most versatile unlicensed point-to-point (PTP) backhaul solutions. This radio is engineered for performance, delivering up to 1.5 Gbps of aggregate IP throughput, making it an ideal, cost-effective alternative to fiber for short to medium-range links. Its rugged, carrier-grade IP67 design ensures it can withstand the harshest environmental conditions, providing a reliable connection when you need it most.
Modular Design for Ultimate Flexibility
The B5x's standout feature is its modularity. It comes with a native 8 dBi antenna, but can be easily adapted for longer links by connecting X-series compatible twist-on antennas. With options for 12 dBi, 16 dBi, 20 dBi, 25 dBi, and even 30 dBi antennas, you can customize the B5x for your specific distance and performance requirements. This adaptability makes it perfect for a wide range of applications, from tower and relay links to custom co-location setups.
Engineered for a Crowded Spectrum
Rise above the noise with the B5x's extended frequency range of 4.9–6.4 GHz. This allows for operation in licensed 4.9 GHz spectrum and helps to avoid interference in the crowded 5 GHz band. Featuring advanced multi-channel and auto-everything technology, the B5x acts like two smart links in one, ensuring a stable and reliable connection. Furthermore, its high-precision GPS Sync technology allows for channel reuse across the network, saving valuable spectrum and enabling easy network expansion.
Key Features at a Glance:
- Extreme Speed: Delivers up to 1.5 Gbps IP aggregate throughput (1.7 Gbps PHY).
- Low Latency: Achieves less than 1ms of latency in auto mode.
- Modular Antenna System: Native 8 dBi gain, expandable with twist-on antennas for longer links.
- Extended Frequency: Operates from 4.9 GHz to 6.4 GHz for enhanced spectrum flexibility.
- Ultra-Rugged: Carrier-grade IP67 die-cast aluminum enclosure for all-weather durability.
- GPS Synchronization: Enables network-wide channel reuse to conserve spectrum.
