0–10 km High-Gain PTP Links

The 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 Radios

The 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 Sites

With 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.
