High-Gain 20–40 km PTP Links
The 1.2m Mimosa B6x Twist-on 2-pack is a high-gain dish antenna solution built for long-range point-to-point (PTP) microwave backhaul using Mimosa X connector radios. These antennas have the appropriate gain for 20–40 km links and deliver strong antenna gain with a narrow beamwidth to improve signal stability and throughput for rural broadband, enterprise connectivity, and other reliability-critical deployments.
Narrow Beamwidth and SNR Benefits
Designed to deliver sufficient gain for maximum signal quality in low-noise environments, it supports strong link performance and consistent throughput over distance. The narrow beamwidth helps reduce the impact of noise, improving SNR and maintaining stable performance on longer paths.
Durable, Low-Maintenance Operation
Its rigid dish structure supports stable alignment and consistent performance in changing weather conditions. With proper installation and routine inspection, it can deliver reliable long-range point-to-point throughput for years with minimal maintenance and reduced total cost of ownership.
Direct Twist-On Connection for Mimosa X Radios
Twist-on connectors attach directly to Mimosa B6x/B5x/C6x/C5x radios to eliminate conversion loss. This direct attachment simplifies installation, reduces connection losses, and helps maintain stronger end-to-end link performance..
No Cable and Conversion Loss
Compared to an X-to-cable (X2C) adapter setup, the signal path introduces extra conversion loss: the Mimosa radio converts the electrical signal into RF energy, the X2C adapter converts it back into an electrical signal for coaxial transmission, the coaxial run adds cable loss, and a second X2C adapter at the antenna converts the signal back into RF energy—so each conversion adds loss on top of the coaxial cable loss, reducing overall link efficiency.
Simplified Installation
The twist-on interface mounts directly to Mimosa B6x/B5x/C6x/C5x radios, making it a straightforward antenna option for Mimosa X connector deployments, while direct mounting reduces unnecessary interconnects and potential points of failure to improve reliability and streamline field deployment for WISPs and integrators.
Remote Relay Sites
With a strong front-to-back ratio, the 1.2m dish helps limit unwanted signal pickup from behind the antenna—an advantage for remote relay sites and other less-crowded installations where cleaner RF conditions are easier to maintain. It does not include a shroud and is not a deep-dish design, which can result in more prominent 90° side lobes. Careful placement and separation planning can help mitigate interaction with nearby antennas, making it best suited for deployments that aren’t heavily colocated on dense towers.
Lightweight and Easy to Deploy
Each box includes two 1.2m dishes for cost-effective shipping. The low-profile design (without a shroud or radome) keeps the antenna lightweight for easier handling and mounting, supporting streamlined backhaul rollouts.
