If I want to start an ISP business can I built my own customized servers and most of the hardware because in think. It will be much more cheaper then buying traditional server from hp or any other company. Please help with your reply. Thanks 🙂

[@carterjanssen5353]

For the access points for point to point or point to multi point. Say from my fiber site/tower with access points, to the customer site/roof. What is the recommended / furthest distance for that connection? Do the access points need antennas? What are the ranges for any of these devices? How far can they go? Granted I have direct line of site. Also I have heard that you can still go through trees, obviously taking loss. What would that loss be? Can you still go through trees?! How far can I shoot ptp through trees? Would it be worth the risk?

[@MimosaCo]

It all depends on the environment. As a first step, we recommend using the network design tool to figure out the equipment and coverage needed: mimosa.co/design-tool

[@Fechual]

Do you guys offer any service in Northern California? Foresthill, GrassValley etc?

[@MimosaCo]

We are actually just the manufacturer of the hardware. Perhaps this may help: broadbandnow.com/California/Grass-Valley

hello , using b11 with 34dbi antenna, 45.35 km, but only get -76 best link, how could we get best link?

[@MimosaCo]

Hi Ridzmar, you can achieve the best link by using larger dishes.

[@bccsivxx-xxivvii]

How much is a lot? That’s kind of relative. Can you give us a ballpark, at least this or that?

HI sir how are you.Sir i Search how to make own ISP i see mimosa and i learn this. But my question is 5ghz connect with mobile wifi or just 2.4ghz is connect with mobile wifi. And sir tell me witch best Access Point and Antenna in 2.4ghs and 5ghz. i am waiting your kind reply. sir i am from Pakistan.

[@MimosaCo]

Our products work like Ethernet cables - only wirelessly. Our A5 and A5C + N5-360 can work in WiFi interop mode and provide connectivity to mobile devices. If you need more information and would like to talk to a sales rep, please fill out our contact form at: mimosa.co/support

[@Rock-cs5nq]

Sir N5 Frequency is 4.9 to 6.4 GHz but in pakistan 2.4ghz frequency free and sir tell me if i use N5 then witch device client device

[@dustinstock9556]

Please keep in mind that the N5-360 has been created to be specifically used for the A5c. If you plan on using the A5c, then I would suggest the Mimosa C5c radio with a connectorized dish. This setup would help overcome noise on the client side of the connection. Maintaining a high SNR is key to have a great Mimosa deployment.

[@abbagarba1]

What What equipments is needed to become a WISP that cover 50 households or subscribers in a city?

[@MimosaCo]
