The Ubiquiti airFiber AF-3X 3GHz Carrier Backhaul Radiofrom Ubiquiti airFiber AF-3X 3GHz Carrier Backhaul Radiois 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 AF-3X also allows users to customize backhaul links or upgrade existing PtP links.

The airFiber AF-3X operates using the 3 GHz frequency band and features a range of 656,168' / 200,000m. Included with this device is a GPS antenna mount, an external GPS antenna, a metal strap, two cable ties, a 24V/1A airFiber PoE adapter with a mounting bracket, and a power cord.

Range: up to 124 mi (200 km)    Up to 525 Mb/s Real Throughput    Full Band Certification including DFS    Operates using the 3 GHz Band    Hybrid Division Duplexing (HDD)    Low Latency    Enhanced Spectral Efficiency    Operation in Unlicensed Bands    Co-Location    GPS Sync & Clean Power Output

Ubiquiti's INVICTUS silicon and radio architecture are designed specifically for long-distance, outdoor wireless applications. Their INVICTUS core communications processing engine surpasses virtually all of the limitations inherent to generic Wi-Fi chips to help provide superior performance, long-range capability, DFS flexibility, and power output.

The 3 GHz frequency band offers interference-free operation, enabling the AF-3X to provide a high-reliability backhaul solution, although a license may be required in some regions.

Channel width flexibility (10/20/30/40/50 MHz) allows independent TX and RX channel frequency configurations virtually 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

The airFiber AF-3X is designed to provide the highest TDD throughput and lowest latency available using proprietary Hybrid Division Duplexing (HDD) technology.

With tower space at a premium, the importance of being able to co-locate equipment is becoming an essential attribute for modern wireless networks. The airFiber AF-3X is engineered to permit multiple radios to operate side by side, allowing maximum spectral efficiency.

Precise GPS frame synchronization enables co-located airFiber AF-3X radios to transmit and receive data without interfering with each other, enabling better frequency reuse and increased network stability.

Using advanced digital signal processing, the innovative airFiber AF-3X radio design has an ultra-clean transmitter output, reducing broadband noise, facilitating co-location, and enabling higher-order modulations like 256QAM for greater throughput.

Q: 1. Can I use this with airFiber 5 GHz Mid-Band Bridge

A: It seems that they work in different frequencies. in order to take full advantage of a Point-to-Point setup, you should use the same devices on both end.

Q: 2. Hello I live in the Poconos I have no internet service it’s wood place. My Nebor is like 1 mile away from me it’s all tree. Is that going to work for me ?

A: The airFiber is great at transmitting the data to your location and still maintain great speeds. However, you still need a network provider to provide the internet. This is does not provide the internet.

Q: 3. Does this supply 48v for the G4 camera line?

A: The NS-5AC-US will only output 24V for the camera.

Q: 4. What does it do can I use it for a TV antenna or cell phone antenna I'm asking a silly question cuz I don't know thank you

A: The Ubiquiti Networks AF-5G23-S45 23 dBi Antenna for airFiber AF-5X 5 GHz Carrier Backhaul Radio, can not be used as a TV antenna. It is meant to be used to transfer data only for airFiber. Please Note: This is not a small antenna.

Q: 5. Does this antenna have a snow cover available?

A: We do not carry snow covers for the Ubiquiti Networks airFiber 60 LR Wireless Bridge.

Q: 6. Can this be used in a SMPTE ST 2110 IP Video network?

A: We believe that the Ubiquiti Networks airFiber 60 XG Point-to-Point Wireless Bridge could work. But you would need to check your requirements for bandwidth. The Ubiquiti Networks airFiber 60 XG Point-to-Point Wireless Bridge has an up to 6 Gb/s Throughput.

Q: 7. Do 2 dishes come in a pair for the purchase of $399? Do they include the alignment tool you can use your eye to align them much easier???

A: Only one Wireless Bridge is included with the Precision Alignment Pole Mount.

Q: 8. What's the maximum range for these puppies while maintaining 1Gbps reliable? I'm trying to fix Isla Mujeres's internet situation without having to route a fiber line through the ocean floor

A: This would be heavily dependent on any obstructions and deployment environment. I would recommend calling us at 800.606.6969 that way we can have a specialist look into the situation in depth.

Q: 9. how many airfibers do you need?

A: These devices have to be used in pairs. You would need 2 of them.

Q: 10. How direct of a line of site is required

A: It may get through a few trees, but I would not recommend No Line of Sight. Near Line of Sight may be problematic.
