Airspan Networks, a leading provider of 4G & 5G small cell access and backhaul solution provider, announced the acquisition of wireless broadband vendor Mimosa Networks.
The deal strengthens Airspan’s innovative leadership in 5G network infrastructure by leveraging the combined teams’ technologies and products, sales channels and customer base, driving next-generation wireless solutions into a broader set of market opportunities. Airspan’s global customer base includes Mobile Operators, Cable/MSO’s, CSP’s, Wireless ISP’s and private network operators in public safety, utilities, oil and gas and air to ground. Airspan claims that it is also the only major American network infrastructure company to offer 5G solutions to a worldwide market.
Airspan said it will continue to leverage the robust Mimosa channel-led sales strategy. This channel strategy will also be used to enhance the distribution of Airspan’s existing products for specific vertical markets, such as private LTE and applications in the newly available CBRS spectrum band.
