Ubiquiti AirFiber 5, 1Gbps+ Backhaul, 5GHz

The mid-band mode AF-5 features the popular mid-band frequencies, which are freely used in many parts of the world. The AF-5 is available for the 5 GHz spectrum.

Superior Processing

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.

Efficient Use of 5 GHz Band

AirFiber AF-5 features 1 MHz center channel resolution with market-leading Power Envelope Tracking technology. The airFiber AF-5 accurately and continuously controls transmit power relative to the band edge. The power level automatically tracks to optimize performance near band edges, allowing you to choose the part of the band with the least interference.

Long-Range Links

Newly developed for the airFiber AF-5, the patent-pending xRT feature uses an innovative, adaptive multi-channel coding scheme to enhance radio transceiver performance, thereby maximizing your link budget and spectrum utilization - while still maintaining regulatory compliance. This results in links that can span distances from 10 m up to 100+* km.(*This distance is unrealistic due to European restrictions. We advise calculating the link distance.)

Quick and Easy Installation

The unique sliding-clamp design of the airFiber AF-5 allows mounting hardware to be pre-assembled prior to installation - no more dropped screws at the top of the tower. As an added convenience, the 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.

Radio Alignment Display

Newly designed for the airFiber AF-5, the Radio Alignment Display (RAD) makes aiming quicker and easier. The dual, calibrated signal strength indicators display the actual signal strength on the local and remote airFiber radios in real time. The comprehensive array of radio status indicators display the following:

• GPS synchronization status
• Master/slave mode
• RF link status
• RF overload warning
• Current modulation mode
• Link activity and speed for wired management and data ports
