0–10 km High-Gain PTP LinksThe 0.6 m Mimosa B6x Twist-On 2-Pack offers a high-gain dish antenna solution built for point-to-point (PTP) microwave backhaul with Mimosa X-connector radios. Optimized for 0–10 km links, these antennas provide strong performance and a narrow beamwidth, ensuring stable signals and high throughput for rural broadband, enterprise networks, and other applications that require reliable connectivity.
Narrow Beamwidth and SNR Benefits
Designed for optimal gain in low-noise environments, these antennas provide reliable link performance and consistent throughput over 0–10 km links. Their narrow beamwidth minimizes interference, improves SNR, and ensures stable performance throughout the link.
Durable, Low-Maintenance Performance
The durable dish design maintains stable alignment and reliable operation even in changing weather conditions. With correct installation and occasional inspections, it delivers dependable point-to-point throughput for years while requiring minimal maintenance and keeping the total cost of ownership low.
Direct Twist-On Connection for Mimosa X RadiosThe twist-on connectors attach directly to Mimosa B6x, B5x, C6x, and C5x radios, eliminating conversion loss. This direct connection simplifies installation, reduces signal loss, and ensures optimal end-to-end link performance.
Avoid Cable and Conversion Loss
Using an X-to-cable (X2C) adapter setup introduces extra conversion losses along the signal path. The Mimosa radio converts the electrical signal into RF energy, which the X2C adapter then converts back into an electrical signal for transmission over coaxial cable. The coaxial cable itself introduces additional loss, and a second X2C adapter at the antenna reconverts the signal to RF energy. Each of these conversion steps adds loss on top of the coaxial transmission loss, reducing overall link efficiency.
Easy Installation
The twist-on interface connects directly to Mimosa B6x, B5x, C6x, and C5x radios, providing an easy antenna solution for Mimosa X connector setups. Direct mounting removes additional connection points that could fail, improving reliability and making field deployment faster and simpler for WISPs and integrators.
Remote Relay SitesWith a high front-to-back ratio, the 0.6m dish limits unwanted signals from behind the antenna, making it well-suited for remote relay sites and other low-interference environments where clean RF conditions are easier to maintain. The antenna does not include a shroud and is not a deep-dish design, which can result in more pronounced 90° side lobes. Careful placement and sufficient spacing from nearby antennas help reduce interference, making it ideal for installations that are not densely collocated on crowded towers.
Lightweight and Easy to Deploy
Each box includes two 0.6 m dishes for more economical shipping. The low-profile design, without a shroud or radome, keeps the antennas lightweight, making them easier to handle and install and helping streamline backhaul deployments.
What Problems Does the 06M-DISH-MIMOSA-B6X-2PK Solve?Eliminates the Cost and Complexity of Fiber Installation
Deploying fiber between buildings, towers, or remote sites can be expensive and time-consuming. The 06M-DISH-MIMOSA-B6X-2PK enables operators to establish high-capacity wireless backhaul links without trenching, permits, or lengthy construction projects.
Reduces Signal Loss and Installation Complexity
Many antenna deployments require adapters and coaxial jumper cables, which add insertion loss and increase the number of failure points. The direct twist-on design integrates directly with compatible Mimosa radios, simplifying installation and maximizing RF performance.
Improves Link Performance for Short-Range Backhaul
Lower-gain antennas may struggle to maintain high modulation rates and throughput. With 30.4 dBi of gain and a narrow beamwidth, the dish helps improve signal levels and supports stable, high-capacity links over distances up to approximately 10 km (6.2 miles).
Provides Reliable Connectivity in Rural and Remote Areas
Rural communities and remote facilities often lack access to affordable, high-speed transport infrastructure. This antenna provides a cost-effective wireless alternative for extending broadband connectivity where fiber is unavailable or impractical.
Simplifies Point-to-Point Deployments
Purchasing antennas separately for each end of a link can complicate planning and increase procurement costs. The 2-pack includes both antennas needed to build a complete point-to-point link, simplifying deployment and inventory management.
Supports Network Expansion and Capacity Growth
As subscriber demand increases, operators need additional backhaul capacity between network sites. The antenna enables WISPs and network operators to add new transport links and expand their infrastructure without significant construction costs.
Minimizes Interference from Unwanted Signals
The dish's narrow beamwidth and high front-to-back ratio help reduce the reception of off-axis signals, supporting cleaner links and more reliable operation in relatively low-noise RF environments.
Typical Use CasesShort-Range Point-to-Point (PtP) Backhaul Links
The 0.6m Dish Mimosa B6x Twist-on 2-Pack is designed for building high-capacity wireless backhaul links up to approximately 10 km (6.2 miles). Its 30.4 dBi gain and narrow beamwidth help deliver stable, high-throughput connections between network sites.
WISP Distribution and Aggregation Networks
Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) can use these dishes to connect tower sites, aggregate traffic from multiple access points, or extend broadband service into neighboring communities. The direct twist-on connection to Mimosa radios minimizes signal loss and simplifies deployment.
Rural Broadband Infrastructure
The antenna pair is well suited for rural deployments where fiber is unavailable or cost-prohibitive. Operators can establish reliable wireless transport links between villages, remote towers, and network points of presence while maintaining high signal quality and low latency.
Remote Relay Sites
The narrow beamwidth and high front-to-back ratio help reduce unwanted signals, making the dishes ideal for relay sites located in relatively low-noise RF environments. They provide clean, reliable connectivity for extending network coverage and transporting traffic between distant locations.
Enterprise and Campus Connectivity
Businesses, industrial facilities, educational campuses, and municipal networks can use these antennas to create multi-gigabit building-to-building links without the cost and disruption of installing fiber. The high gain and direct radio integration support dependable connectivity for critical applications.
Temporary and Rapid Deployment Networks
Because the dishes connect directly to Mimosa B6x, B5x, C6x, and C5x radios without adapters or coaxial jumpers, they can be installed quickly for temporary networks, disaster recovery communications, event connectivity, and other rapidly deployed wireless applications.
