With a Mimosa you could also use a single 80mhz channel, or even a pair of 80mhz channels... all of which should get more throughput than an AF5x in perfect conditions... in some cases I could even see it working better in poor conditions, but it's gotta be using a lot more spectrum.
I'd also like to know more about that particular deployment... I can't imagine the AF5x wouldn't perform better using the exact same channel.
