Customers connected to a MicroPoP can burst to hundreds of Megabits, symmetrically, in both a downstream and upstream direction. DSL and Cable providers are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to upgrade their networks yet cannot come close to these speeds or expand the fiber footprint fast enough to keep up with demand. 5G Fixed wireless is the answer to meet demand for high-bandwidth services to multiple devices in the home. 4K streaming and VR represent a step function change in the need for speed and Mimosa is building the ecosystem to meet this demand.
MicroPoP
Introducing the MicroPoP Broadband Architecture
Surprisingly, over 50% of urban and suburban areas have only one ISP option for 25 Mbps internet. To fix this gap, fixed wireless is a cost-effective, viable approach—driving next-generation broadband where it is needed most.
The Mimosa MicroPoP is a revolutionary concept for deploying fixed broadband services over wireless. Designed from the ground up for dense urban and suburban neighborhoods, the MicroPoP targets speeds of 250-500 Mbps, with plans to reach Gigabit service. It is powerful enough to outperform DSL, Cable, and Fiber services, at comparable prices. With fixed wireless technology, we can bridge the connectivity gap, ensuring more options for high-speed internet in underserved areas.

Fiber-Fast Speeds
Low Cost, Rapid Deployment
Utilizing a mix of unlicensed and licensed spectrum, Mimosa's MicroPoP architecture significantly reduces costs per subscriber compared to wired fixed broadband, which can cost $1,000-$2,500 per household. This business model ensures accessibility for all by facilitating customer acquisition through grassroots efforts, including door-to-door promotion and social media, with on-the-spot installs driving high adoption rates. Each MicroPoP can service 30 units within a 300m radius, ideal for suburban areas. To scale for higher density areas, overlapping MicroPoP hubs can be deployed, servicing up to 1,200 households/km².
Built to Scale
Where previous efforts to deliver last-mile connectivity wirelessly have failed, the Mimosa MicroPoP has the ability to make efficient use of available spectrum. Self-interference from client devices and other access points previously limited the ability of legacy wireless networks to support clients at the density. With Mimosa’s TDMA GPS technology, network-wide synchronization is possible. This allows the same channel to be used across multiple sets of access points and clients. This is the most efficient way to use scarce spectrum.
