The airFiber AF-5XHD 5 GHz Carrier Backhaul Radio with LTU Technology from Ubiquiti Networks is 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 5XHD also allows users to customize backhaul links or upgrade existing PtP links.

The airFiber AF-5XHD operates at 5 GHz and features a range of 62 miles. Included with this device is a GPS antenna mount, an external GPS antenna, a metal strap, two zip ties, a 24V/1A airFiber PoE adapter with a mounting bracket, and a power cord.

Engineered for PerformanceThe AF‑5XHD's custom LTU silicon and radio architecture provides breakthrough performance. Its core communications processing engine surpasses the limitations inherent to generic Wi-Fi chips to provide low latency, long‑range capability, DFS flexibility, higher constellations, and better power output, along with improved receive sensitivity. The AF-5XHD features 21.2 bps/Hz spectral efficiency, line‑rate data packet processing for up to 1.34 Gb/s of real data throughput, and innovative xtreme Range Technology (xRT)Key FeaturesProgrammable 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 Frequency
The radio can operate on different frequencies for TX and RX, allowing great flexibility for interference avoidance
Split TX and RX Channel Bandwidth
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 Support
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 19‑50 VDC and provides enhanced surge protection
