Still Standing Strong: Why the 5 Series Remains a Trusted Choice

Mimosa’s 5 Series may have begun their initial sunset, but its legacy of reliable performance and value continues. Here’s why it’s still a smart solution for today’s fixed wireless deployments—and how to secure your supply now.

Rumors Aside, the 5 Series Still Delivers

If you’ve heard the chatter, you’re not alone. Yes—Mimosa is shifting its technology focus to the 6 Series. And yes—the 5 Series radios are based on hardware we developed more than a decade ago. But here’s the part that often gets left out of the story: the 5 Series is still available, still performing, and still a smart, dependable choice for today’s fixed wireless deployments.

Let’s set the record straight.

The Truth About the 5 Series

Mimosa’s 5 Series has been a cornerstone in building broadband networks around the world. With a well-earned reputation for rock-solid performance, cost efficiency, and deployment flexibility, these radios have powered everything from rural backhaul to urban rooftop links.

Just because newer technology is emerging doesn’t make the 5 Series obsolete. Far from it. Thousands of operators continue to rely on these workhorses every day—and will for years to come. We continue to produce 5 Series radios as component supplies allow, and thanks to strong planning, there’s still healthy inventory available through our distribution network.

If you’re expanding an existing 5 Series network or completing a current buildout, you can continue to count on these solutions for reliable performance and excellent value. However, we recommend reaching out to your local distributor or reseller soon to secure what you need—having a backup plan in place is always a smart move.

Why You Can Still Count on the 5 Series

• Proven reliability in real-world deployments

• Cost-effective for budget-conscious rollouts

• Available today while inventory lasts

If your plans include the 5 Series, rest assured: it remains a solid, strategic choice—and Mimosa is here to support you.
