Ubiquiti AF-5XHD Networks AirFiber 5 GHz Carrier Backhaul Radio with LTU Technology

Ubiquiti Networks continues to disrupt the wireless broadband market with revolutionary LTU technology that breaks through the limitations of 802.11 Wi-Fi technology. Designed for use in the 5 GHz frequency band, the new airFiber AF-5XHD is Ubiquiti’s first LTU radio, offering greater channel bandwidths of up to 100 MHz, and more advanced RF components.

Pair the AF-5XHD with a compatible Ubiquiti® airFiber X antenna or RocketDish™ antenna for a complete 5 GHz Point-to-Point (PtP) solution. An IP67 upgrade kit is included to provide enhanced protection from dust and water.

Features

• Programmable Transmit Power The radio’s transmit power level can be programmed up to +29 dBm
• Programmable Duty Cycle (GPS synchronized frames) The AF-5XHD allows configuration of asymmetric TX and RX duty cycles
• TX ratios include 25%, 33%, 50%, 66.7%, and 75%
• Configurable GPS Synchronization The AF-5XHD offers configurable support for 2, 2.5, 4, and 5 ms frames. Timing is compatible with all other synchronous systems
• Split TX and RX Frequency1 The radio can operate on different frequencies for TX and RX, allowing great flexibility for interference avoidance
• Split TX and RX Channel Bandwidth2 Support for different channel bandwidths for TX and RX allows users to scale required data capacity more efficiently
• Adaptive Modulation up to 1024QAM Adaptive modulation rates of up to 1024QAM (4096QAM with targeted upgrade) are supported
• Dual Redundant Gigabit Ethernet Ports with PoE The AF-5XHD has two Gigabit Ethernet ports that can be used to provide redundant PoE power
• OFDM and OFDMA Support1 The radio offers flexible scheduling for 2, 4, or 8 subchannels
• Bluetooth Wireless Configuration Use the built-in Bluetooth interface for wireless configuration
• AlignLock™ Antenna Aiming Guard This alerts the user when the radio or antenna aiming is changed due to tampering, impact, or storm damage
• User-Configurable Interference Mitigation Three user-selectable profiles support both high‑interference and greenfield deployments for robust, optimal performance
• Redundant Images for Fail-Safe Configuration Creation of backup firmware images ensures fail-safe configuration and enhances reliability
• Persistent Spectrum Analysis with Dedicated RX Perform real-time spectral analysis for the full band on live links without interrupting the link operation
• Wide Voltage Range, Enhanced Surge Protection The AF-5XHD has an operating voltage range of 19‑50VDC2 and provides enhanced surge protection
