Ubiquiti airFiber AF-5X-US 5GHz Carrier Backhaul Radio

Ubiquiti airFiber AF-5X-US 5GHz Carrier Backhaul Radio

Ubiquiti Networks AF-5X is a 5GHz Carrier Backhaul Radio serves a wide range of frequencies. It is designed to be compatible with a variety of Ubiquiti antennasoffering gain of 23 to 34 dBi. The device also allows users to customize backhaul links or upgrade existing PtP links. The device features an industry-leading 10.6 bps/Hz spectral efficiency, covering the entire 5GHz spectrum with one radio, and delivering up to 500+ Mbps real throughput and 200+ km range.

Ubiquiti airFiber AF-5X covers the entire, license-free, 5GHz spectrum and includes a DFS approval. It can be used anywhere around the world.
The airFiber AF-5X comes with GPS Antenna Mount, External GPS Antenna, Metal Strap, Cable Ties (2), airFiber PoE Adapter with Mounting Bracket (24V, 1A) and a Power Cord. Installation instructions provided in the quick start guide (included), explains how to install the Ubiquiti Networks AF-5X and set up an airFiber link, access and use the airFiber Configuration Interface.

Key Features of the Ubiquiti Networks AF-5X-US

• Operation in Unlicensed Bands: Channel width flexibility (10/20/30/40/50MHz) allows independent TX and RX channel frequency configurations virtually anywhere within the radio band to avoid local interference
• Low Latency with HDD Technology: Provides the highest TDD throughput available and is engineered with Hybrid Division Duplexing (HDD) technology
• GPS Synchronization: Enables the concurrency of TX and RX frames TO co-locate the AF-5X radios and enhance the overall performance of backhaul links
• Deployment Flexibility: Compact form factor allows it to fit into the radio mount of Ubiquiti antennas
