Dual Link

Dual Link revolutionizes backhaul reliability by load balancing across two non-contiguous channels to avoid outages due to interference. If one channel experiences interference the radio maintains connection while simultaneously searching for new replacement channel.

Additionally, Dual Link adds value by easing difficulties when searching for available spectrum in congested areas. Now, bandwidth can be split across two different channels. Experience the same throughput, with less complication.
 

TDMA-FD

For the highest interference environments, the new TDMA-FD (Frequency Diversity) feature allows each radio to operate on a separate preferred RX channel that is optimal for local interference. After the RX window has completed, the radio then flips channels to TX on the preferred channel of the remote side radio. This mode can be enabled for 1 x 20/40/80 MHz modes, for IP throughputs up to 750 Mbps.
 

Local and Network-Wide Spectrum Multiplication

With scarce spectrum and lots of traffic to transmit, collocation of devices is a must. While this has been a constant struggle for most of the products on the market, the B5 takes an advanced approach. Using standard GPS and GLONASS for sync, we can ensure that all radios on the network are transmitting and receiving at the same time to avoid any interference. For even more protection, we use the most advanced RF isolation on the market, allowing radios to operate in close proximity to one another.
 

Stream Power Peaking– Multi-stream MIMO radios normally settle on the lowest MCS rate across all the streams, severely degrading performance. Mimosa’s backhaul radios constantly advise the remote-side radio of individual stream receive levels, increasing those signal levels to meet the highest common attainable MCS rate.

Predictive AGC– When there’s a consistent signal from a single client, Mimosa’s Automatic Gain Control narrows the gain window of the receive signal amplitude for the next incoming packets (by 8 dB) to accelerate packet signal level detection.

Precision Receive Activation– A technique by which the receiver is precision-activated only when packets are expected to arrive over the link. Thus reducing the potential interference typically seen if a receiver prematurely begins decoding.

Mimosa B5 vs. Ubiquiti

Many customers are comparing the new Mimosa B5 5GHz wireless backhaul to the Ubiquiti AF5.  Although feedback varies based on customer application, the Mimosa Wireless backhaul B5 is standing up quite well to the larger Ubiquiti AirFiber AF5.  The airfiber is almost double in size, so installation is much more time consuming.  The Mimosa Wireless B5, has a much smaller form factor, an even with a large 25dBi integrated antenna, the size is only about 18″ round.  This wireless bridge can be installed almost anywhere.  Pole Mount, Wall Mount, Roof Mount or use a standard 3ft. tripod and mast combination.  Speed will vary on both devices, but when comparing Mimosa vs. Ubiquiti, it is still very close…in our opinion.  If you have Mimosa Wireless reviews you would like to share, please send us an email here.
