Point-to-Multipoint: The Fastest Path to Last-Mile Connectivity

Around the world, operators face the same fundamental problem: bringing high-speed broadband the final mile to individual homes and buildings. In many regions, dense urban environments, complex building layouts, or right-of-way limitations make it difficult—or simply impractical—to extend fiber all the way to each residence.

In the United States, the challenge often looks different but feels the same: costly permitting, construction delays, long fiber runs, and the expense of physically reaching every home can slow deployments and inflate project budgets.

A Proven Model at Massive Scale

In India, Reliance Jio uses Mimosa PTMP across urban multi-dwelling units where pulling fiber to every balcony isn’t practical. Instead, Jio mounts an A6 on a rooftop and installs one C6x per balcony, delivering reliable broadband without ever tearing up streets or navigating building-entry barriers.

It’s fast. It’s repeatable. And it’s scalable to millions of homes.

The same model applies far beyond India.

Why Operators Choose PTMP—Globally and in the U.S.

1. Faster Time to Market

No construction. No trenching. No months-long permit cycles.
Installers can light up a neighborhood—or an entire apartment block—in hours, not weeks.

2. A Cost-Effective Alternative to Fiber Drops

Fiber is essential for backbone and transport, but the last mile doesn’t always justify the cost.
PTMP lets operators reach more homes with far fewer dollars—and far fewer delays.

3. Designed for Density and Distance

Whether you’re dealing with high-rise reflections or long suburban driveways, Mimosa PTMP is built to adapt:

  • High-capacity A6 access point
  • Flexible, high-gain C6x clients
  • GPS sync to reuse spectrum cleanly
  • Software-defined optimization for real-world conditions

The result: fiber-like performance without the fiber constraints.

4. A Practical Solution for U.S. Deployment Realities

In the U.S., broadband expansion often hits roadblocks:

  • Permitting bottlenecks
  • Right-of-way restrictions
  • High labor and construction costs
  • Pressure to deliver service quickly

PTMP helps operators—WISPs, co-ops, utilities, Tier 1s—move faster and serve more customers without the wait time.

The Last Mile, Simplified

Mimosa Point-to-Multipoint Solutions gives operators a flexible, scalable way to connect homes across:

  • Dense urban corridors
  • Suburban neighborhoods
  • Rural towns
  • Hard-to-reach locations where fiber is delayed or cost-prohibitive

Whether you’re connecting thousands of balconies in a MDU or accelerating deployment timelines in the Midwest, Mimosa provides the missing piece of the last-mile puzzle.
