About Ubiquiti Networks AF-5

What sets the airFiber-5 5GHz Carrier Class Point-to-Point Gigabit Radio apart is its revolutionary technology, designed to disrupt the wireless broadband market. This modular airFiber radio system, brought to you by Ubiquiti Networks, caters to a broad spectrum of frequencies and is compatible with a range of Ubiquiti antennas.

The airFiber X builds on the proven design of the airFiber system, allowing you to customize airFiber backhaul links or upgrade existing Rocket Point-to-Point (PtP) links. Its innovative dual-antenna design ensures robust performance even in the harshest RF noise environments.

This high-performance backhaul delivers real throughput of up to 1.2+ Gbps, surpassing conventional wired backhauls. It performs at a range of up to 100+ km, making it ideal for long-range links. The airFiber5 supports FDD (Frequency Division Duplexing) in full-duplex mode for the 5GHz Unlicensed Band, allowing users to deploy it almost anywhere (subject to local country regulations).

The airFiber-5 is a testament to Ubiquiti's revolutionary wireless technology. It delivers exceptional wireless gigabit+ performance, low latency, and long range, making it perfect for carrier backhaul, enterprise use, or public safety applications.

Every detail of the airFiber-5, from the silicon chip to the innovative split-antenna architecture, is designed and engineered by the Ubiquiti R&D Team for superior throughput and efficiency. It's easy to install, thanks to its mechanical design and the airFiber Configuration Interface, which enables quick deployment.

The airFiber-5 operates in worldwide, license-free, 24 or 5 GHz frequencies, giving users the freedom to deploy and operate it practically anywhere (subject to local country regulations). It delivers gigabit performance at 1.2+ Gbps, transmitting a 100 MB file in less than a second.

Ubiquiti's proprietary modem technology is designed to address the specific challenges of outdoor, PtP bridging and high-performance network backhauls. It features a dual-independent, 2x2 MIMO, high-gain reflector antenna system, and supports a variety of features to help manage your network.

The airFiber-5 comes in two models for the 5 GHz spectrum: the mid-band model, AF-5, and the high-band model, AF-5. Both models feature Ubiquiti's proprietary INVICTUS core communications processing engine for superior processing.

The airFiber AF-5 features 1 MHz center channel resolution with market-leading Power Envelope Tracking technology, optimizing performance near band edges. It also features a patent-pending XRT feature to enhance radio transceiver performance, maximizing your link budget and spectrum utilization while maintaining regulatory compliance.

Installation is quick and easy with the unique sliding clamp design, and the Radio Alignment Display (RAD) makes aiming quicker and easier. The comprehensive array of radio status indicators provide real-time information on GPS synchronization status, master/slave mode, RF link status, RF overload warning, current modulation mode, and link activity and speed for wired management and data ports.
