Mimosa Backhaul Radio (B6x)

The Mimosa B6x is a modular, high-capacity point-to-point (PTP) wireless backhaul solution engineered for maximum flexibility, performance, and cost efficiency in demanding outdoor environments. Designed to operate in the unlicensed 5 GHz band (4.9–6.4 GHz), the B6x delivers fiber-like performance with throughput up to 1.5 Gbps using advanced 802.11ac Wave 2 technology. Its compact and rugged design, combined with support for various antenna options, makes it suitable for a wide range of applications including backhaul, relay links, and high-performance distribution.

One of the B6x’s key strengths is its modular antenna system, allowing operators to choose from Mimosa’s own line of twist-on dish antennas (12 dBi, 16 dBi, 20 dBi, or 25 dBi) or use third-party waveguide antennas for customized deployments. This modularity provides unmatched flexibility, enabling providers to fine-tune coverage and gain based on link distances, terrain, and interference conditions. The B6x ships standard with a 16 dBi integrated antenna but can be easily upgraded with higher-gain options for long-range or high-capacity links.

Engineered for performance, the B6x utilizes 2x2:2 MIMO, 256-QAM modulation, and channel widths up to 80 MHz to deliver high throughput with low latency. This ensures rapid, stable data transfers across even challenging wireless paths. Integrated GPS sync further enhances performance by enabling channel reuse across co-located radios, minimizing interference and allowing for denser deployments. Whether used for connecting towers, business parks, or remote communities, the B6x offers consistent speed and reliability.

Durability is another hallmark of the B6x. Its IP67-rated aluminum enclosure is designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions including extreme temperatures, wind, rain, and dust. Operating reliably from –40°C to +55°C, the B6x is ideal for remote and exposed sites. Its sleek, weather-resistant form factor and lightweight body simplify mounting and maintenance, making it a practical solution for rapid field installations.

Power and data connectivity are managed via a single 1 GbE port with support for 802.3at PoE input, ensuring compatibility with a wide array of networking equipment. The unit also includes built-in ESD and surge protection to safeguard against electrical damage in storm-prone areas. Power consumption remains efficient at less than 15W, making the B6x suitable for solar-powered or battery-backed systems.

Managed through Mimosa’s Cloud and Element platforms, the B6x offers advanced network diagnostics, remote configuration, performance monitoring, and OTA firmware updates. These tools empower service providers with the visibility and control required to maintain peak performance across distributed deployments.

In summary, the Mimosa B6x is a compact yet powerful backhaul radio that combines scalability, flexibility, and performance. It is an ideal solution for operators seeking high-capacity wireless links in environments where fiber is impractical or cost-prohibitive.
