Ubiquiti Networks AF-5XHD 5 GHz airFiber Carrier Backhaul Radio with LTU Technology (White) Features

The AF-5XHD can be used with existing airFiber slant-polarized antennas for improved noise immunity and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). It is compatible with multiple Ubiquiti airFiber X antennas offering gain of 23 to 34 dBi. The compact form factor of the AF-5XHD allows it to fit into the radio mount of airFiber X antennas, so installation requires no special tools.

Full-Band Certification with DFS

The AF-5XHD covers the entire, license-free, 5 GHz spectrum and includes DFS approval. Anyone around the world can deploy and operate the AF-5XHD in the 5GHz range practically anywhere they choose (subject to local country regulations).

Optimal Operation in Unlicensed Bands

Channel width flexibility (10/20/30/40/50/60/80/100 MHz) allows independent TX and RX channel frequency configurations 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.

Ultra-Low Latency with HDD Technology

The AF-5XHD is designed to provide the highest TDD throughput available and is engineered with proprietary Hybrid Division
Duplexing* (HDD) technology. In a backhaul link, two AF-5XHD radios use patent-pending HDD technology to calculate the propagation delay and know when each radio can transmit and receive, so they send packets in precise synchronization. Packet transmission latency is virtually eliminated.

Co-Location

Co-location is vital in many scenarios. For example, a WISP may have limited tower space, so it must co-locate all equipment within that allotted footprint.

GPS Synchronization

Precise GPS frame synchronization frees the AF-5XHD from interference for superior co-location capability. GPS enables the concurrency of TX and RX frames so you can co-locate the AF-5XHD radios and enhance the overall performance of your backhaul links.

Clean Power Output

Using digital pre-distortion compensation and multi-IFFT processing, the innovative RF design delivers ultra-clean power output that improves noise immunity and co-location performance. This reduces the potential impact on the RF noise environment and allows for the use of higher-order modulation, such as 1024QAM.
