U-NII-2 and DFS Support
Product Applicability: B5, B5c. B5-Lite
Mimosa 5 GHz radios support U-NII-2 operation and comply with DFS requirements. When a DFS channel is selected,
there is a mandatory 60-second waiting period where the device listens for radar before association on that
particular channel. In the EU, there is a mandatory 10-minute waiting period for the 5600-5650 TDWR band.
If a qualifying radar signature is detected, the radio will comply with DFS requirements by vacating the channel for
30 minutes. For this reason, Mimosa recommends the use of Dual-Channel mode with the secondary channel on a
non-DFS channel (U-NII-1 or U-NII-3) so that traffic will be routed over the second channel and no link down time is
incurred.
Instead of specifying alternate frequency selections in the case of a DFS hit, Mimosa implemented frequency
"Exclusions" that are set on the Channel & Power page. Exclusions are used to mark frequencies that should be
avoided, leaving the remainder of the spectrum available for automatic selection based on favorable RF conditions.
