Today Mimosa is proud to announce the general availability of software release 2.4, with exciting features that enable rapid network deployment and reduce installation and operating costs in last-mile multipoint wireless broadband networks.

Worldwide, our wireless ISP (WISP) and telco customers are rapidly expanding their services on rural towers and in suburban MicroPoP areas, and steadily upgrading their existing broadband networks to deliver up to 100 Mbps service.

Mimosa is on the road around the world this week, with employees taking part in GITEX Technology Week in Dubai and Wispapalooza in the U.S. Both events give us an opportunity to do what we love most—meet with current and prospective customers to learn more about the opportunities they’re seeing in their communities and discuss how the latest innovations from Mimosa can help.

One of the solutions we showcased with Tycon Systems at the ASIS 2017 Security Expo in Dallas was a ready-to-install kit for setting up a remote, solar-powered, high-speed connection. This specific kit included a Mimosa B5-Lite backhaul radio link, a night vision PoE camera, and a Tycon RemotePro Solar System.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – September 12, 2017 – Mimosa Networks, the leader in 5G Fixed wireless solutions, announced today that Nemont Telephone Cooperative (Nemont) has selected the company’s fiber-fast wireless solutions to deliver ultra-broadband fixed wireless services to underserved subscribers in Montana.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – September 6 , 2017 – Mimosa Networks, the leader in 5G Fixed wireless solutions, and Prairie Hills Wireless, a Nebraska-based wireless internet service provider (WISP), announced today that the companies’ longstanding partnership has propelled Prairie Hills Wireless to a milestone of over 1,200 residential and business customers receiving fiber-fast broadband services.

At Mimosa, we get a lot of questions from service providers asking about which antenna we recommend to provide the best performance in a given situation. This blog is designed to help answer these questions—specifically for our A5c product.

The Mimosa A5c has four N-ports since it’s a 4x4 MIMO radio. Because of this, you can set up your towers in many different configurations, with many different antenna choices. There are many antenna manufacturers out there, but there are three that we’ve worked with quite closely, and who we recommend our customers use.

To celebrate the start of the new school year, Mimosa will be donating more than 100 fully-stocked backpacks for children at Christopher Elementary School, located in East San Jose. Because many of these students do not have the necessary supplies to do their homework, we decided to focus our charity outreach in our own backyard – not only is the campus within 10 miles of Mimosa HQ, but one of our employee’s spouses is also a teacher. Each backpack is loaded with school essentials and a hand-written, personalized letter to the student.

The ripple effects of the Net Neutrality and Open Internet proceedings are being felt by consumers, the tech industry, as well as Internet Service Providers (ISPs) at the heart of the discussion. As a co-founder of a Silicon Valley tech company, Mimosa Networks, I’m a big supporter of the need for an Open Internet to enable new innovations that depend on unimpeded consumer internet.

As a founding member of the Broadband Access Coalition, Mimosa is proud to be a leader in the effort to extend quality broadband service to underserved areas of the United States, and to bring desperately needed competition to urban and suburban markets. We filed a petition with the FCC on June 21^st, proposing that the 3.7 – 4.2GHz band be made available for point-to-multipoint services with low-cost licensing terms afforded under Part 101 rules.

In the second part of our “how-to” series, we wanted to share some tips on how we recently built an off-the-grid solar site in the hills overlooking Monterey Bay.

Our customer was looking to connect their remote farm and a nearby campsite to a site in Carmel Valley. We started by focusing on the actual dish deployment, using our Design Tool to configure the network. We then moved onto designing and deploying the solar power grid.
