Mimosa Client Radio (C5x)

The Mimosa C5x is an ultra-flexible and high-performance client radio designed to address the unique challenges of modern wireless broadband deployments. As the industry’s most versatile radio in its class, the C5x supports both point-to-multipoint (PTMP) and point-to-point (PTP) configurations and is fully optimized for operation in the extended 4.9–6.4 GHz frequency range. The device is purpose-built to serve internet service providers (ISPs), wireless integrators, and enterprise networks that demand high-speed connectivity with scalable installation options and long-range capabilities.

At its core, the Mimosa C5x delivers impressive data throughput of up to 700 Mbps using 802.11ac Wave 2 technology with 2x2 MIMO. Its ability to support advanced modulation up to 256-QAM ensures efficient use of spectrum, while its adaptive bandwidth options (20, 40, 80 MHz) provide the flexibility to suit varying levels of congestion and regulatory environments. Whether it’s deployed as a subscriber module in a Mimosa A5 PTMP network or used for short-to-medium range PTP backhauls, the C5x guarantees solid performance and minimal latency.

What sets the C5x apart is its unique twist-on antenna system. Unlike traditional fixed-antenna designs, the C5x features a modular approach that allows operators to select from a series of snap-on antennas—ranging from 8 dBi to 25 dBi—depending on the link requirement. This reduces the need to stock multiple device SKUs and makes field deployment more efficient and customizable. Whether aiming for high-density short-range coverage or rural long-distance reach, the C5x’s antenna flexibility makes it a truly one-radio-fits-all solution.

Built to endure the most demanding outdoor environments, the C5x comes in an IP67-rated, die-cast aluminum enclosure. This robust housing protects the radio from dust, rain, and temperature extremes, making it ideal for all-weather operations. Its compact size and lightweight design allow for simple mounting on poles or walls, and its low power consumption—less than 10W—makes it compatible with solar power systems and PoE-enabled network equipment.

The C5x supports seamless integration with Mimosa’s management platforms—Mimosa Cloud and Element. These platforms provide network operators with real-time visibility into link health, throughput, RF environment, and remote troubleshooting capabilities. The radio also includes essential diagnostics tools like spectrum analysis and alignment aids to ensure optimal installation and ongoing link performance.

In conclusion, the Mimosa C5x is the epitome of flexibility, power, and durability in a compact wireless radio. With its modular antenna design, advanced radio technology, and robust build, the C5x enables high-capacity broadband connectivity across varied deployment scenarios while reducing operational complexity and cost.
