Datasheet Full-Duplex, Point-to-Point Gigabit Radio Models: AF-24, AF-24HD, AF-5, AF-5U High Performance Wireless Backhaul Extreme, Long-Range Links Worldwide License-Free Operation
Datasheet Revolutionary Wireless Technology Introducing airFiber®, a truly revolutionary Point-to-Point wireless platform from Ubiquiti Networks. Housed in a compact, highly efficient form factor, airFiber delivers amazing wireless gigabit+ performance, low latency, and long range. airFiber ushers in a new era in price-disruptive wireless technology ideal for carrier backhaul, building-to-building enterprise use, or public safety applications.
Innovative Proprietary Modem Technology Ubiquiti’s innovative proprietary modem technology was purpose-built to address the specific challenges of outdoor, PtP (Point‑to-Point) bridging and high-performance network backhauls. Every aspect of the radio has been carefully simulated and designed to optimize range, speed, and latency performance in the harshest RF noise environments.
Datasheet There are two airFiber models available for the 5 GHz spectrum. The mid-band model, AF-5, features the popular mid‑band frequencies, which are freely used in many parts of the world. Side 4 The high-band (5.7 - 6.2 GHz) model, AF-5U, has robust filtering to enable co-location with devices operating in the lower 5 GHz bands while allowing operation at a higher output power in many areas of the world.
Radio Alignment Display Ubiquiti Networks introduces our proprietary INVICTUS core communications processing engine. The speed, power, and efficiency of this integrated circuit enhances the performance of the airFiber AF-5/AF-5U. ™ Efficient Use of 5 GHz Band airFiber AF-5/AF-5U features 1 MHz center channel resolution with market‑leading Power Envelope Tracking technology. The airFiber AF-5/AF-5U accurately and continuously controls transmit power relative to the band edge.

Datasheet Superior 24 GHz Performance Two airFiber 24 GHz Models airFiber AF-24/AF-24HD provides a breakthrough in 24 GHz backhaul performance. Two models deliver superior speed with spectral efficiency in the worldwide, license-free, 24 GHz radio band. Systems for millimeter‑wave frequencies typically experience RF losses when part of the RF is lost in the switches and filters. The standard model, AF-24, delivers up to 1.4+ Gbps throughput at a range of up to 13+ km.
