AirFiber 5XHD 1Gbps carrier backaul 5GHz

AF-5XHD Ubiquiti

Explicitly designed for wireless ISPs, it provides low latency, long distances, DFS flexibility, high constellations, high output power and better receive sensitivity. It offers a spectral efficiency of 21.2 bps/Hz, up to 1.3Gbps throughput and the innovative xTreme Range (xRT ™) technology.

5GHz Backhaul

DFS Full Band 5 GHz Backhaul Certification covers the entire 5 GHz unlicensed spectrum. Anyone in the world can deploy and use the AF-5XHD (subject to local regulations).

Channel width flexibility (10/20/30/40/50/60/80/100 MHz) allows all TX and RX channel width configurations to avoid local interference, channel centers are selectable in increments of 1 MHz. You also have the ability to schedule different uplink and downlink duty cycles to support asymmetric traffic requirements.

Ultra-low latency with HDD technology. The AF-5XHD is engineered to provide the highest TDD throughput available and is engineered with proprietary Hybrid Division Duplexing* (HDD) technology. In a backhaul link, two AF-5XHD radios use HDD technology (patent pending) to calculate propagation delay and know when each radio can transmit and receive, the two radios then send packets in precise synchronization. Packet transmission latency is virtually eliminated.

Co-location is vital in many scenarios. For example, a WISP may have limited tower space, so it must locate all equipment within that assigned footprint.

GPS sync frees the AF-5XHD from interference for superior co-position capability. GPS allows you to improve the overall performance of backhaul links.

Clean Power Output - Using digital pre-distortion compensation and multi-IFFT processing, the innovative RF design delivers ultra-clean power that improves noise immunity and co-location performance. This reduces the potential impact of RF noise and allows the use of higher order modulations, such as 1024QAM.

Flexibility of Use - The AF-5XHD can be used with airFiber slant antennas to improve noise immunity and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). It is compatible with multiple Ubiquiti airFiber X antennas offering 23 to 34 dBi gain. The AF-5XHD's compact form factor allows it to fit onto the radio mount of airFiber X antennas, so installation requires no special tools.

RocketDish - You can also pair the AF-5XHD with one of the RocketDish antennas (30 or 34dBi) using the included universal bracket or by using a kit to convert the RocketDish to 45° tilt polarity.
