“Works with Mimosa” Makes Light Work of Accessory Selection!

The new page features the full selection of Mimosa’s custom-designed mounts, power supplies and Network Interface Devices, and for each product, provides a short overview, specifications and compatible products.


 

We are also pleased to introduce the “Works with Mimosa” program, which features a list of third-party antennas that are recommended for use with each of Mimosa’s connectorized radio products, highlighting several cost-effective, high-reliability and high-performance options.

Firmware Release 2.4 Enables Rapid Network Deployment and Reduces Installation and Operating Costs

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.

Visit Us at GITEX and See Our New Time-Saving Features at Wispapalooza 2017!


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.

Antenna Selections for the Mimosa A5c

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.

Mimosa Gives Back(packs)

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.

 

Lack of Competition Has Driven the Net Neutrality Debate to a Fever Pitch

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.

Fixed Access Economics: Understanding Why Mobile Networks Cannot Bridge the Broadband Divide and What You Can Do About It

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 21st, 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.

Building a Solar Site

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.

Deploying a Diversity Link

In the first part of our “how-to” series, we wanted to share some tips on how we recently built an over the water, solar relay diversity link from Monterey Bay to Carmel Valley in California. A diversity link is a link that can pick up signals on two different dishes, with feed horns configured exactly 11 feet apart vertically, and is ideally suited to handle thermal inversion deployments. We spent about two months designing the site and trying out several different configurations at the remote site, to determine how to accommodate the long, 56 mile, link.
