Description

Ubiquiti airFiber AF-5XHD 5 GHz Carrier Backhaul Radio Dubai

Designed for use in the 5 GHz frequency band, the new airFiber® AF-5XHD is Ubiquiti’s first LTU radio, offering greater channel bandwidths of up to 100 MHz, and more advanced RF components. Pair the AF-5XHD with a compatible Ubiquiti® airFiber X antenna or RocketDish™ antenna for a complete 5 GHz Point-to-Point (PtP) solution. An IP67 upgrade kit is included to provide enhanced protection from dust and water.

The airFiber AF-5XHD 5 GHz Carrier Backhaul Radio with LTU Technology from Ubiquiti Networks is designed for long-range, Point-to-Point (PtP) backhaul links. It features a high TDD throughput and Hybrid Division Duplexing (HDD) technology that helps the device achieve low latency. The airFiber 5XHD also allows users to customize backhaul links or upgrade existing PtP links.

The AF‑5XHD’s custom LTU silicon and radio architecture provides breakthrough performance. Its core communications processing engine surpasses the limitations inherent to generic Wi -Fi chips to provide low latency, long‑range capability, DFS flexibility, higher constellations, and better power output, along with improved receive sensitivity. The AF-5XHD features 21.2 bps/Hz spectral efficiency, line‑rate data packet processing for up to 1.34 Gb/s of real data throughput, and innovative xtreme Range Technology (xRT).

Ubiquiti airFiber AF-5XHD 5 GHz Carrier Backhaul Radio Key Features

    The AF-5XHD has an operating voltage range of 19‑50 VDC and provides enhanced surge protection

Software Features

The airFiber AF-5XHD uses Ubiquiti’s airOS LTU software, which offers you a variety of advanced features.
Spectral Analysis with airView
airView allows you to identify noise signatures and plan your networks to minimize noise interference.
airView performs the following functions:
• Constantly monitors environmental noise
• Collects energy data points in real‑time spectral views
• Helps optimize channel selection, network design, and wireless performance
airView runs in the background without disabling the wireless link, so there is no disruption to the network. In airView, there are three spectral views, each of which represents different data: waveform, waterfall, and ambient noise level. airView provides powerful spectrum analyzer functionality, eliminating the need to rent or purchase additional equipment for conducting site surveys

UNMS App

The AF-5XHD supports the Ubiquiti Network Management System. UNMS is a comprehensive management controller featuring an easy-to-navigate graphic UI. The UNMS app provides instant access to the airOS configuration interface and can be downloaded from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). UNMS allows you to set up, configure, and manage the AF-5XHD and offers various configuration options once you’re connected or logged in.

5 GHz Backhaul

  • Full-Band Certification with DFS
    The AF‑5XHD covers the entire, license-free, 5 GHz spectrum and includes DFS approval. Anyone around the world can deploy and operate the AF‑5XHD in the 5 GHz range practically anywhere they choose (subject to local country regulations).
  • Optimal Operation in Unlicensed Bands
    Channel width flexibility (10/20/30/40/50/60/80/100 MHz) allows independent TX and RX channel frequency configurations anywhere within the radio band to avoid local interference, and the channel centers are selectable in 1 MHz increments. You also have the ability to program different uplink and downlink duty cycles to support asymmetric traffic requirements.
  • Ultra-Low Latency with HDD Technology
    The AF‑5XHD is designed to provide high TDD throughput and is engineered with proprietary Hybrid Division Duplexing (HDD) technology. In a backhaul link, two AF‑5XHD radios use patent-pending HDD technology to calculate the propagation delay and know when each radio can transmit and receive, so they send packets in precise synchronization. Packet transmission latency is virtually eliminated

Co-Location

  • Co-location is vital in many scenarios. For example, a WISP may have limited tower space, so it must co-locate all equipment within that allotted footprint.
    • GPS Synchronization
      Precise GPS frame synchronization frees the AF‑5XHD from interference for enhanced co‑location capability. GPS enables the concurrency of TX and RX frames, so you can co-locate the AF‑5XHD radios and enhance the overall performance of your backhaul links.
    • Clean Power Output
      Using digital pre-distortion compensation and multi-IFFT processing, the innovative RF design delivers ultra-clean power output that improves noise immunity and co‑location performance. This reduces the potential impact on the RF noise environment and allows for the use of higher-order modulation, such as 1024QAM.
