The Backbone of Licensed Backhaul: A Salute to the Mimosa B11

The Mimosa B11 has long been a go-to solution for licensed backhaul deployments requiring high-capacity, long-distance wireless connectivity. Operating in the 11 GHz spectrum, it has enabled service providers around the world to deliver fiber-like speeds without the cost and complexity of trenching. 

For nearly a decade, the Mimosa B11 backhaul radio has done exactly what it was designed to do — deliver dependable, high-throughput, long-distance connectivity across licensed 11 GHz spectrum.

From remote deserts and mountain ranges to dense metro footprints, the B11 has served as a silent workhorse in networks around the world. And while it may not always grab headlines, its performance has spoken volumes.

Engineered for Distance. Built for Dependability.

At its core, the B11 was built to tackle real-world backhaul challenges:

  • Licensed Spectrum Performance: Operating in the 10.0–11.7 GHz band (where permitted), the B11 offers a reliable escape from the increasingly congested unlicensed spectrum.
  • 1.5 Gbps Aggregate Throughput: With support for high-capacity links, the B11 enabled operators to deliver fiber-like speeds without the cost and delays of trenching.
  • 100+ km Reach: Its remarkable range made it a natural fit for bridging long-haul gaps — especially in rugged or rural terrain.
  • <1 ms Latency: Low-latency performance has ensured smooth user experiences for video, VoIP, and time-sensitive applications.
  • Deployment Flexibility: With both SFP and PoE options, the B11 adapted easily to a wide variety of network topologies and fiber-readiness scenarios.

Real-World Impact

Whether connecting rural communities in Latin America, supporting education networks in the U.S., or delivering enterprise-grade bandwidth to remote sites, the B11 has enabled hundreds of providers to expand their reach with confidence.

What’s Next for the B11?

The B11 continues to be a reliable, high-performance solution for licensed backhaul — and it’s still readily available for those looking to complete deployments, add redundancy, or secure trusted gear for the future.

Whether you're reinforcing a mission-critical link or expanding your licensed network footprint, now is a great time to act with confidence.

The B11 was built for operators who needed something powerful, practical, and proven — and you’ve made it a cornerstone of backhaul networks around the world.

We’re proud of the impact the B11 has had, and we’re equally excited for what’s ahead as we continue building the future of fixed wireless.
