Mimosa: 5GHz 1 Gbps PtP backhaul

B5 Features

Local and Network-Wide Spectrum Multiplication 

With scarce spectrum and lots of traffic to transmit, colocation of devices is a must. While this has been a constant struggle for most of the products on the market, the B5 takes an advanced approach. Using standard GPS and GLONASS for sync, we can ensure that all radios on the network are transmitting and receiving at the same time to avoid any interference. For even more protection, we use the most advanced RF isolation on the market, allowing radios to operate in close proximity to one another.

Lightweight

 We're making climbing towers easier. The B5 is the lightest gigabit-integrated backhaul in the industry, and features a quick-mount bracket to eliminate installation frustration.

Low Latency & High Performance 

The Mimosa TDMA protocol establishes a new benchmark for PHY:MAC efficiency, low latency, and spectrum re-use.

Each Mimosa backhaul radio includes an integrated high sensitivity GPS + GLONASS receiver for the best possible satellite reception, and consistent high-precision 1 PPS-based timing for coordinating TX/RX sync.

Choose between the highest possible throughput TDMA slot times (which use high packet aggregation techniques), or low latency slot times to support latency-critical vertical applications.

Configure the radio for an equal(50%/50%) or unequal (75%/25%) traffic splits to maximize throughput in the downlink direction.

Advanced RF Efficiencies

Stream Power Peaking - Multi-stream MIMO radios normally settle on the lowest MCS rate across all the streams, severely degrading performance. Mimosa’s backhaul radios constantly advise the remote-side radio of individual stream receive levels, increasing those signal levels to meet the highest common attainable MCS rate.

Predictive AGC - When there’s a consistent signal from a single client, Mimosa’s Automatic Gain Control narrows the gain window of the receive signal amplitude for the next incoming packets (by 8 dB) to accelerate packet signal level detection.

Precision Receive Activation - A technique by which the receiver is precision-activated only when packets are expected to arrive over the link. Thus reducing the potential interference typically seen if a receiver prematurely begins decoding.

The B5 Backhaul is changing the game. Leveraging 802.11ac, 4x4:4 MIMO and radical engineering for service providers that demand the same capacity, speed and reliability as fiber. With 1.7 Gbps PHY and a unique spin on reliability, the B5 is re-defining gigabit wireless technology.

The B5 is capable of 1 Gbps throughput, a low 2 ms latency and has an integrated dual-polarized antenna with 25 dBi of gain. Ready to handle the next wave of 5 GHz, the B5 is operational from 5150-5850 MHz*.

The B5 brings with it an entirely new set of features never seen before in the outdoor wireless market.
