Datasheet Licensed Backhaul Radio Model: AF-4X Up to 500+ Mbps Real Throughput, Up to 200+ km Range Optimal Use of 4.
Datasheet Overview Ubiquiti Networks introduces the airFiber® AF-4X, Ubiquiti’s first licensed spectrum radio designed for the public safety sector. It meets the growing need of broadband capacity and optimizes use of the 4.9 GHz radio band with its industry-leading spectral efficiency and TDD throughput. The AF-4X allows you to customize airFiber backhaul links or upgrade existing Rocket® Point‑to‑Point (PtP) links.
Mission-Critical Communications The AF-4X covers the 4.9 GHz spectrum for public safety. Additional frequencies, from 4.7 GHz to 4.9 GHz, are supported in Europe and other regions (subject to local country regulations). Datasheet 4 GHz Backhaul The AF-4X uses a proprietary radio communications protocol with AES-128 encryption to help ensure communication channels are secure.
Datasheet Co-Location With space at a premium, the importance of being able to co‑locate equipment is becoming an essential attribute for modern wireless networks. The AF-4X is engineered to permit multiple radios to operate side by side, allowing maximum spectral efficiency. GPS Synchronization Precise GPS frame synchronization enables co-located AF-4X radios to transmit and receive data without interfering with each other, enabling better frequency reuse and increased network stability.
The AF-4X supports ± 45° slant polarization for improved noise immunity and Signal‑to‑Noise Ratio (SNR). The compact form factor of the airFiber X allows it to fit into the radio mount of Ubiquiti antennas, so installation requires no special tools. Datasheet Deployment Flexibility The airFiber X antennas are purpose-built with 45° slant polarity for seamless integration with the airFiber AF-4X.
Datasheet You can also pair the AF-4X with one of the following RocketDish™ antennas by using a kit to convert the RocketDish to 45° slant polarity. Model Frequency Diameter Size RD-5G30 4 - 5 GHz 650 mm Model Frequency Diameter Size RD-5G34 4 - 5 GHz 1050 mm Conversion Kit The RocketDish to airFiber Antenna Conversion Kit converts the RocketDish RD-5G30 or RD-5G34 antenna to 45° slant polarity for use with the AF-4X.
