Delivering fiber-like speeds with Mimosa's point-to-point and point-to-multipoint solutions.
Overcoming Harsh Environments and Connectivity Gaps with Hyper Optic
Founded in 2019, Hyper Optic set out with an ambitious goal: to provide fast and reliable internet to remote homes across Kazakhstan. Based in Almaty, this pioneering company has expanded its reach in just five years, connecting customers in Almaty, Astana, Kyzylorda, Shymkent, Turkestan Region, Almaty Region, Taldykorgan, Aktau, Mangistau Region, and Atyrau. The challenges of Kazakhstan's vast geography and harsh weather made this mission critical yet daunting.
Kazakhstan’s vast geography, harsh weather, and sparse mobile coverage have left many rural homes reliant on outdated ADSL connections, with fiber optic infrastructure deemed impractical due to cost and logistics. Early fixed wireless solutions struggled with reliability, creating skepticism about their viability. However, during catastrophic flooding in April 2024 that severed communication cables across four villages, Mimosa's resilient equipment emerged as a critical lifeline, restoring connectivity and proving the reliability of fixed wireless access in even the most challenging conditions.
Hyper Optic turned to Mimosa Networks to deliver robust, scalable connectivity solutions to Kazakhstan's remote areas. Mimosa's fixed wireless technology overcame the geographic and environmental challenges, offering an alternative to fiber with fiber-like speeds at a fraction of the cost.
Hyper Optic's deployment of Mimosa technology delivered outstanding results: B5x radios achieved uplink speeds of up to 1 Gbps, while A5 access points provided end users with speeds up to 300 Mbps. Residents gained stable and reliable internet for the first time, and Mimosa's resilience during the April 2024 floods solidified its role as a vital communication link when traditional infrastructure failed. This success transformed perceptions of fixed wireless access in Kazakhstan, turning skeptics into advocates for Mimosa’s reliable and high-performing solutions.

Challenges: Overcoming Harsh Environments and Connectivity Gaps
Kazakhstan’s geography presents unique challenges. The country's vast distances, extreme weather conditions, and predominantly flat topology mean that many rural homes have been limited to ADSL connections. Mobile coverage is sparse, and the cost and logistics of deploying fiber optic infrastructure to remote areas make it an unattainable dream for many.
Compounding the issue, early fixed wireless solutions in the region left a poor impression. Many households experienced inconsistent service and reliability issues with previous providers, leading to skepticism about fixed wireless access (FWA) as a viable solution.
These challenges came into sharp focus in April 2024 when flooding devastated four connected villages, damaging cables and leaving residents without communication. For many, Mimosa's equipment became the only means of staying connected, proving its resilience in the face of disaster.
The Solution: Mimosa Networks Provides Reliable Connectivity
Hyper Optic turned to Mimosa Networks to deliver robust, scalable connectivity solutions to Kazakhstan's remote areas. Mimosa's fixed wireless technology overcame the geographic and environmental challenges, offering an alternative to fiber with fiber-like speeds at a fraction of the cost.
Deployment Overview
- Core Infrastructure: Mimosa's B5x radios were used to establish point-to-point (PTP) uplink connections.
- Village Connectivity: Within the villages, A5, A6, and A5c access points were installed to distribute the signal.
- Customer Premises Equipment: Individual homes were equipped with Mimosa’s C5x radios to ensure strong, stable connections.
Despite strong winds during the installation process, the project’s flat topology and Mimosa’s durable equipment allowed Hyper Optic to establish a resilient network.
Results: Delivering Exceptional Performance and Community Impact
Hyper Optic achieved results that exceeded expectations:
Bandwidth Achievements:
- The B5x radios delivered up to 1 Gbps on the uplink.
- The A5 access points provided speeds up to 300 Mbps to end users.
Customer Impact:
- Residents finally experienced stable, fast, and reliable internet connectivity.
- Mimosa's equipment proved resilient during the April 2024 floods, providing the only communication link for affected villages when traditional infrastructure failed.
With Mimosa’s technology, Hyper Optic successfully changed the perception of FWA in Kazakhstan. Customers who were once skeptical of wireless solutions are now advocates, celebrating a stable and reliable internet solution for their homes.
Conclusion: A New Era of Connectivity in Kazakhstan
Hyper Optic’s partnership with Mimosa Networks is a testament to the transformative power of fixed wireless technology. By overcoming environmental and logistical challenges, Mimosa’s solutions are empowering Hyper Optic to connect communities across Kazakhstan, proving that fast, reliable internet is no longer just a dream but a reality for even the most remote regions.
