About #C5c
The Mimosa B5c is a powerful, carrier-grade connectorized wireless backhaul solution designed for long-distance point-to-point connectivity in demanding outdoor network environments. Built for extreme customization, high throughput, and dependable operation, the B5c gives network operators the flexibility to pair the radio with virtually any compatible dual-polarization antenna, making it an ideal choice for long-range relay links, tower-to-tower connections, custom-engineered collocation sites, rural broadband expansion, public safety networks, and high-capacity wireless infrastructure.
Designed for both unlicensed and public safety connectivity, the Mimosa B5c delivers exceptional performance across the 4900 to 6200 MHz frequency range, with operation subject to country-specific regulations. It is also suitable for licensed Public Safety use in the 4.9 GHz spectrum, making it a strong option for municipalities, emergency response networks, surveillance systems, government communications, and other mission-critical applications that require stable, high-capacity wireless transport.
The B5c is recognized for its exceptional speed and flexibility. With up to 1.5 Gbps aggregate IP throughput and 1.7 Gbps PHY performance, it provides the capacity needed to support bandwidth-intensive applications such as broadband backhaul, enterprise connectivity, video surveillance transport, VoIP, data aggregation, and critical communications. Its low-latency performance of less than 1 ms in Auto Mode helps ensure fast, responsive connectivity for real-time applications and high-demand network traffic.
At the heart of the Mimosa B5c is advanced 4x4:4 MIMO OFDM technology with modulation up to 256QAM. This allows the radio to deliver high spectral efficiency and strong link performance, even in challenging RF environments. The B5c supports both TDMA and TDMA-FD wireless protocols and can operate using single or dual 20, 40, or 80 MHz channels. This gives operators extensive control over bandwidth allocation, channel planning, and link optimization.
One of the standout features of the B5c is its dual-link operation. The radio includes two independent dual-stream radios that can operate on non-contiguous frequencies. Traffic is automatically load-balanced across four total MIMO streams, with individual stream encoding up to 256QAM. This design provides excellent flexibility, improved reliability, and strong performance in crowded spectrum conditions. In practical terms, the B5c can behave like two intelligent links in a single radio, helping operators maintain throughput and stability even when interference is present.
The Mimosa B5c is engineered to tame unlicensed spectrum interference through advanced multi-channel operation, active spectrum monitoring, and dynamic auto-optimization. Its Smart Spectrum Management system actively scans, monitors, and logs RF interference across available channels without impacting service. The radio can then dynamically optimize channel and bandwidth use to help maintain link quality and maximize performance. This makes the B5c especially valuable in dense wireless environments where competing signals and changing interference conditions can affect network reliability.
For networks that need to scale, the B5c is highly spectrum efficient. Its high-precision GPS synchronization technology allows collocated co-channel radios to coordinate transmit and receive timing using 1PPS GPS TX/RX synchronization. This enables operators to reuse the same channel across multiple links and sites, reducing wasted spectrum and making it easier to add more capacity as the network grows. Adjustable upstream and downstream bandwidth ratios further allow the link to be tuned for specific traffic patterns and deployment needs.
The B5c is built for harsh outdoor environments. Its carrier-grade IP67-rated enclosure protects against dust, water, and severe weather exposure, making it suitable for permanent outdoor installations on towers, rooftops, remote relay sites, industrial locations, and public safety infrastructure. The unit is housed in outdoor UV-stabilized plastic with an aluminum mounting panel, providing a rugged yet practical design for long-term field deployment.
With an operating temperature range of -40°C to +55°C, the Mimosa B5c is designed to perform in extreme heat, freezing cold, and challenging climate conditions. It supports 5 to 100% condensing humidity and can operate at altitudes up to 4,420 meters. The radio is also built to withstand shock and vibration according to ETS 300-019-2-4 class 4M5, making it suitable for demanding tower and infrastructure environments. Its wind survivability rating of up to 200 km/h and wind loading of 9.89 kg at 160 km/h further reinforce its suitability for rugged outdoor deployments.
The B5c uses Female Type N connectors and is intended for use with dual-polarization antennas. This connectorized design is one of its most important advantages, allowing installers and network engineers to choose the antenna that best matches the required distance, gain, beamwidth, and site conditions. Whether the deployment requires a high-gain dish for long-distance backhaul or a specialized antenna for a custom RF design, the B5c provides the flexibility needed to engineer the right solution.
Power and protection are also designed with reliability in mind. The B5c consumes a maximum of 20W and is powered using 48V DC 802.3at-compliant power injectors. It supports passive PoE with a 48-56V Power over Ethernet supply and includes IEC61000-4-5 surge protection. With 6 kV lightning and ESD protection, the B5c is built to help protect network infrastructure in exposed outdoor environments where electrical surges and harsh weather are common concerns.
Installation and alignment are simplified with Mimosa’s dedicated 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi management radio. This hands-free local management and smart antenna alignment tool allows installers to access and align the radio more easily from the ground or near the installation site. The built-in 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n management radio makes setup, configuration, and maintenance more convenient, reducing installation time and improving deployment accuracy.
The Mimosa B5c also provides robust management and monitoring options. It supports Mimosa cloud monitoring and management, allowing operators to instantly monitor link health, performance, and network status through rich data collection and analysis tools. This helps administrators identify potential issues, track RF conditions, review link performance, and respond quickly to changing network conditions. For legacy and advanced network management environments, the B5c also supports SNMPv2, Syslog, HTTPS, and an HTML5-based web user interface.
Security is built into the platform with 128-bit AES pre-shared key encryption and hardware acceleration. This helps protect wireless traffic while maintaining strong performance. The B5c also supports four pre-configured QoS levels, allowing operators to prioritize different types of traffic and improve the handling of latency-sensitive applications such as voice, video, and mission-critical data.
Physically, the B5c is compact and durable, measuring 267 mm high, 158 mm wide, and 74 mm deep, with a weight of 1.6 kg. It includes dual standard pole straps for mounting on pipes with outside diameters from 30 mm to 90 mm, making it practical for a wide variety of tower, pole, and rooftop installations.
The Mimosa B5c is compliant with major regulatory and safety standards, including FCC Part 15.407, FCC Part 90Y, IC RSS210, IC RSS111, CE, ETSI 301 893, and ETSI 302 502. It is RoHS compliant and meets UL, IEC, EN 60950-1, and CSA-22.2 safety standards.
Overall, the Mimosa B5c is an ideal solution for operators who need a fast, rugged, and highly customizable point-to-point backhaul radio. Its combination of high throughput, low latency, dual-link operation, GPS synchronization, smart spectrum management, flexible antenna compatibility, cloud-based monitoring, and carrier-grade outdoor durability makes it well suited for wireless ISPs, public safety agencies, enterprise networks, municipalities, surveillance deployments, and large-scale broadband infrastructure.
With the Mimosa B5c, operators can build long-distance, high-capacity wireless links with greater confidence, better spectrum efficiency, and the flexibility to adapt each deployment to the exact needs of the network. Whether used for rural broadband backhaul, tower relay links, public safety connectivity, or custom collocation environments, the B5c delivers the performance, reliability, and scalability required for today’s most demanding wireless networks.
