Mimosa Gigabit Network Interface Device (NID)

WAV supplies the Mimosa gigabit network interface device (NID) with electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection.

• Increased reliability: Since Mimosa radios already have GDTs (gas discharge tubes) for suppressing ESD, the Mimosa NID adds additional protection for electrical systems. This means higher reliability for WISP operators, and fewer service calls. It’s also an ideal solution for areas that require installations to meet certain, local code requirements

• Easy installation: In just a few minutes, a NID can be mounted, installed and connected. A shielded CAT6 or 6A ethernet cable goes into the NID, and then another CAT6 or 6A ethernet cable goes inside the house, or to the bottom of a tower, into a PoE injector. A 14 AWG or larger wire goes from the NID and connects to a ground rod.

Main benefits:

• ESD protection between subscriber premise entry and the home

• ESD protection between radios and the power source

• Protects the power source and electrical equipment

• Service interface for easily accessible troubleshooting

• Cost-effective solution for every deployment
