Ubiquiti Networks airFiber AF-5U High-Band 5 GHz Point-to-Point Gigabit Radio Bridge

Operating on the 5 GHz frequency band, the airFiber AF-5U High-Band 5 GHz Point-to-Point Gigabit Radio Bridge from Ubiquiti Networks offers point to point connectivity at long distances of over 62 miles. This enhanced coverage provides a reliable backhaul connection which is an essential part of many building-to-building enterprise network configurations. With a dual-antenna architecture, 2x2 MIMO functionality separates the transmit and receive data streams allowing for increased bandwidth and a more reliable connection. Setup of this PtP Gigabit radio is simple thanks to the airFiber Configuration Interface which can be installed by a single network tech. Once installed, 12 dedicated LED indicators make it easy to see the status of various aspects of the network including data port link/activity, data port speed, management port link/activity, and much more.

Wireless Technology

• Point-to-point wireless platform
• Housed in a compact, highly efficient form factor
• Delivers wireless gigabit+ performance with low latency
• xRT feature uses an adaptive multi-channel coding scheme to enhance radio transceiver performance, while still maintaining regulatory compliance
• Supports long range communication up to 62+ miles
• Operates in license-free, high-band 5 GHz frequencies
• Worldwide license-free operation
• Delivers gigabit performance at 1.0+ Gb/s
• Suitable for carrier backhaul, building-to-building enterprise use, or public safety applications

Synchronous Data Transmission and Reception

• Transmits data synchronously without any wait time
• Uses traditional TDD and FDD modes of operation
• Features the proprietary Hybrid Division Duplexing (HDD) mode for long range and spectral efficiency performance
• HDD technology calculates the propagation delay for synchronous transmissions and eliminate packet transmission latency
• Based on the ranging algorithm built into the air protocol

Dual-Antenna Architecture

• Features a dual-independent, 2x2 MIMO, high-gain reflector antenna system
• Separate transmit and receive antennas eliminates the extra RF losses caused by the switches or duplexers
• Includes a mechanical back-plane that is constructed as a one-piece monocoque molding
• Single-piece, injection-molded architecture

Network Management

• Network management option between the greater security of out-of-band management and the convenience of in-band management
• Full SNMP support for network management
• Local and remote status information available on the main tab of the airFiber configuration interface

Processing

• Proprietary INVICTUS core communications processing engine
• Features 1 MHz center channel resolution with Power Envelope Tracking technology
• Accurately and continuously controls transmit power relative to the band edge
• Power level automatically tracks to optimize performance near band edges, allowing you to choose the part of the band with the least interference

Radio Alignment Display

• Radio Alignment Display (RAD) makes aiming quicker and easier
• Dual, calibrated signal strength indicators display the actual signal strength on the local and remote airFiber radios in real time
• Displays information about 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

Installation

• Based on Ubiquiti's airOS
• Enables quick deployment
• Sliding-clamp design allows mounting hardware to be preassembled prior to installation
• Drop-in cradle mount design allows the installer to attach mounting hardware to the pole without having to support the weight of the airFiber radio during installation
