Mimosa Client Radio (C5c-EF)

The Mimosa C5c-EF is a high-performance connectorized client radio engineered for exceptional point-to-point (PTP) and point-to-multipoint (PTMP) wireless deployments. Designed with service providers and enterprise networks in mind, the C5c-EF supports a wide operating frequency range from 4.9 GHz to 6.4 GHz, offering reliable and scalable connectivity in both licensed and unlicensed spectrum. Its compact form factor, external antenna compatibility, and industry-leading performance make it an ideal solution for last-mile access, long-range bridging, and custom coverage applications.

At its core, the C5c-EF is powered by 802.11ac Wave 2 technology with 2x2 MIMO support, delivering up to 700 Mbps of throughput in real-world deployments. Its ability to support multiple channel bandwidths—ranging from 20 MHz to 80 MHz—provides flexibility for various deployment needs while maximizing spectrum efficiency. Designed to minimize latency and enhance stability, the C5c-EF ensures consistent performance even in bandwidth-heavy and interference-prone environments.

What sets the C5c-EF apart is its connectorized design, which enables operators to select and pair it with antennas best suited to their deployment scenarios. Whether used in long-distance PTP links or dense PTMP configurations, the external antenna capability provides unmatched adaptability. By choosing the ideal antenna gain and beamwidth, users can optimize signal strength and reduce interference, extending the reach and improving the overall quality of their wireless links.

The unit features a rugged IP67-rated outdoor enclosure, making it resistant to dust, water, and harsh weather conditions. This ensures dependable operation across a wide range of environmental extremes, including remote or challenging terrains. The device is lightweight and easy to install, and its low power consumption—typically under 10W—makes it suitable for installations where power supply options are limited, such as solar-powered or battery-backed systems.

Installation and alignment are streamlined by integrated tools such as signal quality indicators and spectrum analysis, allowing technicians to establish optimal link performance during setup. The C5c-EF also supports GPS synchronization and Mimosa’s proprietary TDMA protocol, which enhances throughput consistency and minimizes self-interference, especially in high-density deployments.

Network operators benefit from centralized management through Mimosa’s Cloud and Element platforms, which provide remote access for configuration, performance monitoring, firmware updates, and fault diagnostics. This reduces the need for on-site visits and enhances the manageability of large-scale wireless networks.

In summary, the Mimosa C5c-EF is a highly flexible, connectorized client radio that delivers strong performance, wide frequency compatibility, and robust construction. It is an excellent choice for ISPs and enterprises seeking a cost-effective, scalable wireless solution for extending broadband connectivity with the ability to adapt to varied deployment environments and network architectures.
