Overview

The Mimosa A5c is a high-capacity point-to-multipoint access point designed for outdoor fixed wireless networks, offering up to 1.0 Gbps IP throughput, 4x4:4 MIMO and support for frequencies from 4.9 GHz to 6.4 GHz. Built for demanding ISP, municipal, rural broadband and public safety deployments, it combines GPS synchronization, advanced beamforming, Multi-User MIMO and intelligent spectrum management to deliver reliable network performance and efficient spectrum reuse. With a rugged IP67 enclosure, Gigabit Ethernet and support for up to 64 clients, the A5c provides a scalable wireless access solution for long-range sector deployments.

Description

The Mimosa A5c point-to-multipoint access point is designed to deliver high-capacity wireless broadband where traditional fibre deployment may be costly or impractical. Its 4x4:4 MIMO architecture, advanced antenna beamforming and Multi-User MIMO technology allow the access point to serve multiple subscribers efficiently while making better use of available wireless spectrum.

The A5c supports both Mimosa GPS Sync TDMA and WiFi interoperability, giving network operators flexibility when building or expanding fixed wireless infrastructure. Its integrated high-precision GPS synchronization makes it possible to deploy additional A5c sectors alongside existing Mimosa A5 and B5 installations while reusing channels and reducing spectrum congestion.

With support for frequencies from 4.9 GHz to 6.4 GHz, the Mimosa A5c is suitable for a wide range of outdoor wireless deployments, subject to local regulatory requirements. It is particularly well suited to rural broadband, municipal networks, public safety applications, long-range pole and tower deployments, and high-density ISP access networks.

The A5c is designed to work with Mimosa's N5-360 antenna for MicroPoP applications. The antenna system uses overlapping vertical and horizontal polarizations to provide balanced coverage and can extend MicroPoP range compared with the integrated Mimosa A5 solution. Auto-Provisioning and the Mimosa Install App also help reduce subscriber installation time by simplifying device configuration and network integration.

Features

High-Capacity Point-to-Multipoint Wireless
The Mimosa A5c is built around a 4x4:4 MIMO radio with OFDM modulation and support for up to 256QAM. Its beamforming technology creates targeted wireless streams for individual clients, helping improve sector capacity and overall channel utilization.

Key performance highlights include:

• Up to 1.0 Gbps IP throughput and up to 1.7 Gbps PHY rate
• Up to 64 clients with WiFi interoperability
• Up to 44 clients using the SRS wireless protocol
• 4x4:4 MIMO OFDM with modulation up to 256QAM
• 20, 40 and 80 MHz channel bandwidth
• 5 MHz tuning increments for GPS Sync
• Frequency range from 5150 MHz to 6400 MHz
• Maximum output power of 27 dBm

GPS Sync and Spectrum Efficiency
Integrated high-precision GPS Sync technology allows multiple Mimosa devices to coordinate transmissions across a network. This makes it possible to reuse channels at collocated sites and helps operators make more efficient use of limited unlicensed spectrum.

The A5c also incorporates smart spectrum management. Active scanning can monitor and log RF interference across available channels without interrupting service, while dynamic channel and bandwidth optimization helps maintain network performance as conditions change.

Its TDMA architecture dynamically manages transmission timeslots between subscribers. This is particularly useful as the number of connected clients increases, helping improve spectrum efficiency, access point utilization and overall network scalability.

Built for High-Density Subscriber Networks
The A5c uses advanced beamforming and Multi-User MIMO to target individual clients more efficiently. Multiple integrated antenna paths can create separate beamforms, allowing simultaneous communication with different clients and improving the amount of performance available from a wireless channel.

The system is also designed to operate effectively in environments with interference. Advanced Automatic Gain Control techniques help suppress underlying interference while maintaining strong client performance with a relatively low operating margin.
