Mimosa A5C + mimosa 5c

[Jose_Maria1]

hello i just installed a5c new using 4 pigtail and 2 panel sector,
the two sector panels are aligned at the same side and inclination.

but the c5 client only show 2 signal H and V.
i think the C5 cpe was capable to see 4
(2 h and 2 v)
can you say me how?
thanks

From the specs: MIMO & Modulation 2x2:2 MIMO OFDM up to 256 QAM. I dont see any 4x4 here.

i see two or more month ago, that

in the forum,
and I think is 4x4

then the A5c have 4 chains, for use with??
with 2x2??
the kp antenna have 4 chains, or not? and only see to one side..
can somebody explain me something?

Hi Jose,

A5 and A5c are 4x4. C5 is 2x2. The extra 2 chains are used for beamforming to achieve higher gain at the client. Here is a link to a similar discussion with more details:

When you point two sets of antennas in the same direction such that their patterns overlap, you get the combined effect of 2x the power sent in the same direction AND beamforming gain. In areas where the patterns do not overlap, these benefits are reduced or unavailable. The packaged 4-connector, 2-polarization sectors are engineered to maximize those benefits. Beamforming is managed by the radio, and the antennas are passive in this respect.
