About Ubiquiti Networks AF-3X

From Ubiquiti Networks comes the revolutionary airFiber 3X 3GHz Carrier Backhaul Radio, a game-changer in the wireless broadband market. This modular airFiber radio system is designed to serve a broad spectrum of frequencies and is compatible with a wide array of Ubiquiti antennas. The airFiber 3X builds on the proven design of the airFiber system, offering the flexibility to customize airFiber backhaul links or upgrade existing Rocket Point to Point (PtP) links.

The airFiber 3X is engineered for superior performance, specifically designed for long-distance, outdoor wireless applications. It leverages Ubiquiti's INVICTUS custom silicon and proprietary radio architecture to surpass the limitations of generic Wi-Fi chips. This results in superior performance, long-range capability, DFS flexibility, and higher delivered throughput.

Featuring industry-leading spectral efficiency of up to 17.1 Mbps/MHz, the airFiber 3X can process line rate data packets of up to 525 Mbps of real data throughput. It also boasts innovative Xtreme Range Technology (XRT), enabling a range of up to 200+ km.

The compact form factor of the airFiber 3X allows for deployment flexibility. It can be used with airFiber Slant 45 antennas or can instantly upgrade a 5 GHz Rocket link that uses a RocketDishRD-5G30/RD-5G34 antenna. This makes the airFiber 3X a versatile solution for carrier backhaul across the globe. Deploy the model that meets your specific spectrum requirements, with options for 2.4, 3, 4, 5, or 11 GHz.

The airFiber 3X offers channel width flexibility, allowing independent configuration of TX and RX channel frequencies to avoid local interference. It also supports different uplink and downlink duty cycles to accommodate asymmetric traffic requirements.

With its proprietary Hybrid Division Duplexing (HDD) technology, the airFiber 3X provides ultra-low latency and the highest TDD throughput available. This, coupled with precise GPS frame synchronization, allows co-located airFiber X radios to transmit and receive data without interference, leading to better frequency reuse and increased network stability.

The airFiber 3X also features an ultra-clean transmitter output, reducing broadband noise and enabling higher-order modulations like 256QAM for greater throughput. The 3 GHz frequency band offers interference-free operation, making the AF-3X a reliable backhaul solution. Please note that a license may be required in some regions. The channel centers are selectable in 1 MHz increments, offering options of 3.5, 5, 7, 10, 14, 20, 28, 30, 40, 50, or 56 MHz.
