Mimosa N5-X20 Twist-on Dish Antenna 2-Pack (N5-X20-2P)

The Mimosa N5-X20-2P is a high-performance 2-pack modular antenna set designed to be used with Mimosa C5x and C6x client radios. This product is part of the N5-X Series, which provides scalable, twist-on antenna options to match a wide range of deployment needs. Each N5-X20 antenna in this bundle delivers 20 dBi of gain, making it well-suited for mid-to-long-range wireless links, especially in rural or suburban environments where signal strength and beam directionality are key to overcoming obstacles and reducing interference.

Designed to operate within the 4.9–6.4 GHz frequency band, the N5-X20 antennas offer significant deployment flexibility, ensuring compatibility with a variety of regulatory domains and frequency plans. The antennas support a beamwidth of approximately 16°, which provides a narrow signal focus. This focus, paired with high front-to-back isolation, helps minimize interference from nearby links or ambient RF noise, delivering cleaner, more stable connections.

The mechanical design of the N5-X20 antennas reflects Mimosa’s commitment to durability and ease of installation. The twist-on interface allows the antenna to be securely attached to the C5x or C6x radios without requiring additional tools or complex hardware. The antennas are encased in rugged, weather-resistant materials that are IP67-rated, ensuring protection against dust, rain, and harsh outdoor conditions. This makes the N5-X20-2P suitable for long-term use in a variety of climate zones.

From a performance standpoint, when paired with compatible radios, these antennas can support data rates up to 700 Mbps in point-to-point (PTP) mode and up to 500 Mbps in point-to-multipoint (PTMP) applications. Their support for 2x2 MIMO and modulation up to 256-QAM ensures reliable data transmission and efficiency, even in spectrum-dense environments. The antennas also benefit from GPS synchronization when used with Mimosa’s radios, which allows co-channel operation for multiple links, improving overall network scalability.

Security and management features are inherited from the attached radio units. These typically include 128-bit AES encryption, WPA2 authentication, and support for cloud-based monitoring through Mimosa Cloud or Element software. These tools allow remote diagnostics, firmware updates, and real-time performance tracking, giving network administrators comprehensive control over deployment and maintenance.

In summary, the Mimosa N5-X20-2P is a versatile, high-gain antenna solution tailored for high-capacity wireless broadband deployments. With its rugged design, precise beam focus, modular compatibility, and scalability, it empowers service providers and enterprises to expand connectivity with confidence, efficiency, and reduced operational complexity.
