Mimosa C5c Point-to-Point Backhaul & Point-to-Multipoint Client Radio
The Mimosa C5c is a versatile, connectorized wireless client radio designed for both point-to-point (PTP) backhaul and point-to-multipoint (PTMP) client access in fixed wireless networks. It supports long-range rural and urban applications by partnering with various dual polarization antennas to customize range and coverage. It dynamically manages bandwidth allocation and timing for upstream transmissions, enhancing efficiency and scalability, incorporating Mimosa’s proprietary Spectrum Reuse Synchronization (SRS) technology. This radio solution excels in delivering high throughput with low latency in challenging environments, such as those with heavy vegetation or crowded spectrum. It offers flexible antenna options and wide frequency band coverage (4.9–6.4 GHz), enabling superior adaptability in frequency-congested areas while maintaining outstanding price-performance for professional fixed wireless deployments.

PERFORMANCE
The C5c delivers an impressive maximum throughput of 700 Mbps IP under PTP/PTMP modes and 866 Mbps at the PHY layer. Its radio utilizes 2×2 MIMO with OFDM modulation schemes up to 256-QAM, which enables high data rates and robust wireless links. It operates across a wide frequency range (4.9–6.4 GHz), helping to avoid interference in congested 5 GHz bands. The low latency of roughly 1 millisecond and minimal packet loss, the high reliability is needed in demanding backhaul and latency-sensitive client applications.
POWER CONSUMPTION
Its power consumption peaks at about 12.9 watts, supplied via Passive Power over Ethernet (PoE) over a wide voltage range from 24 to 56 VDC. This efficient power method simplifies deployment while enabling small-form-factor installations, thereby reducing operational energy costs.
COVERAGE
The C5c supports long-distance links exceeding 100 kilometers when used with appropriate high-gain dual polarization antennas. Its high output power, combined with flexible antenna connectivity and adaptive spectrum use, allows it to manage links impaired by foliage and environmental clutter effectively.
VERSATILITY
It is embedded with a connectorized antenna design that can be integrated with various commercially available antennas for customized deployment scenarios, making it highly adaptable to diverse network topologies and environmental conditions. It supports multiple wireless protocols, including standard WiFi interoperability and Mimosa’s SRS technology, providing flexibility across different network ecosystems.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
It features Smart Spectrum Management, which actively scans and logs RF interference across channels without service disruption, automatically optimizing channel and bandwidth settings. It features enhanced security capabilities, including RADIUS provisioning, Change of Authorization (COA), and Dynamic Management (DM) features from advanced Mimosa platforms. It also includes VLAN and QoS features that allow enhanced traffic management and segmentation, ensuring quality network performance.
APPLICATION AREAS
It is suitable for organizations that require high-performance fixed wireless connectivity, particularly in scenarios where fiber is costly or impractical. This includes rural internet service providers deploying long-range point-to-point backhaul links to connect remote communities and carriers extending broadband coverage into hard-to-reach or densely vegetated areas. It is also ideal for municipal and government networks needing scalable, reliable wireless infrastructure for smart city applications and public safety communications. Enterprises and large campuses in sectors such as education, healthcare, and industrial sites for dedicated wireless backhaul and client access in environments where traditional wired networks are unavailable or too expensive to deploy.
CONCLUSION
The Mimosa C5c offers an optimal balance of high performance, flexible antenna options, and efficient power consumption within a rugged, compact design. It excels in both point-to-point backhaul and point-to-multipoint client access roles, especially in rural and challenging environments. Its advanced synchronization and spectrum reuse capabilities position it as a scalable, cost-effective solution for service providers aiming to deliver high-speed fixed wireless connectivity with enhanced reliability and low latency.
