C Spire, Mimosa Partner on 5G Fixed Wireless in Mississippi

July 26, 2018

C Spire and Mimosa Networks are working together on a 5G fixed wireless initiative in Mississippi designed to extend broadband internet access service to more consumers and businesses. Mimosa’s sub-6 GHz equipment and technology solutions will be deployed in neighborhoods, small towns and cities across the state.

C Spire is offering consumers and businesses in some Mississippi markets 5G internet access that features download speeds up to 120 Mbps and upload speeds of 50 Mbps for $50 a month with no extra fees, no contract and no data limits. Mimosa Network’s hybrid fiber wireless client antennas will be used to connect hub homes and other residences in neighborhoods. The devices resemble a dinner plate and are about one third the size of a typical satellite dish.

C Spire is deploying Mimosa solutions in neighborhoods using short-range MicroPoP architectures and in limited tower deployments. The deployment includes Mimosa A5 and A5c access devices, Mimosa C5 client devices, and Mimosa N5-360 beamforming antennas.
