The Mimosa B6x is a revolutionary unlicensed backhaul radio engineered for service providers and enterprises demanding extreme throughput, low latency, and cost‑effective deployment. Mimosa B6x is operating in the 5.15–6.425 GHz spectrum, it delivers up to 3.0 Gbps IP aggregate throughput (3.4 Gbps PHY) over short‑to‑medium range links, making it ideal for tower relay, campus backhaul, and last‑mile aggregation.

Unmatched Spectral Efficiency

The Mimosa B6x leverages 4×4 MU‑MIMO with 1024QAM modulation and supports single or dual 160 MHz channels, achieving a massive 320 MHz aggregate channel capacity. Future firmware releases will add OFDMA and TDMA‑FD for even greater efficiency. Dual‑link operation allows two independent 2×2 radios to operate on non‑contiguous channels, automatically load‑balancing traffic across four MIMO streams for robust, high‑availability links.

Precision Collocation & Synchronization

Mimosa B6x is built‑in GNSS‑1 (GPS + GLONASS) receiver provides 1PPS synchronization, enabling TX/RX timing alignment for densely collocated co‑channel radios. Adjustable up/downstream bandwidth ratios and support for Auto‑TDD make the B6x perfect for tower top deployments where spectrum reuse is critical.

Rugged, All‑Weather Reliability

Housed in a die‑cast aluminum enclosure with IP67 ingress protection, the B6x withstands dust, rain, and temporary immersion. It operates from -40°C to +55°C and meets ETS 300‑019‑2‑4 Class 4M5 shock and vibration standards, ensuring reliable performance in extreme outdoor environments.

Flexible Connectivity & Power

Mimosa B6x radio includes a 10 Gbps SFP+ cage for fiber uplink (modules sold separately) and a 10/100/1000 BASE‑T Gigabit Ethernet port for copper connections. Power is supplied via passive PoE (48‑56V, injector not included) or an optional DC port. Maximum power consumption is 30W, with 6 kV lightning and ESD protection.

Smart Spectrum Management & Security

Active scan technology continuously monitors RF interference across all channels without impacting service, enabling dynamic auto‑optimization of channel selection and bandwidth. Security is ensured with 128‑bit AES PSK accelerated by hardware. The B6x supports 4 classes of QoS with configurable priority queuing, CIR/MIR, and rate limiting.

Management & Deployment

Manage the Mimosa B6x through Mimosa Cloud, MMP, SNMPv2, Syslog, or an intuitive HTML5‑based web GUI. The unit requires two standard pole straps for mounting (30–90 mm diameter) and includes a bracket with ±20° elevation adjustment. An L‑bracket can be used for additional flexibility. The Mimosa N5‑X twist‑on RF connector allows easy attachment of compatible dish antennas (not included).

Ideal for short‑to‑mid range backhaul, relay links, and custom collocation scenarios, the Mimosa B6x sets a new benchmark for speed and value in unlicensed wireless backhaul.

What distances are supported for B6x links?

This depends on the antenna size and regulatory power settings. The B6x and all the X-series (N5-X) antenna options are available in Mimosa’s Design Tool. It’s free and very easy to model a PTP link, give it a try at: https://cloud.mimosa.co .

Do all N5-X antennas work with the B6x?

Currently the B6x works with Mimosa’s N5X 12, 16, 20, and 25 dBi antennas.

For anything larger than the 25 dBi antenna, including Mimosa’s N5-X30kp, the B6x will require (2) X2C waveguide adapters and (2) coaxial jumpers.
