airFiber 5 GHz Carrier Backhaul Radio

The airFiber AF-5X is designed for long-range, Point-to-Point (PtP) backhaul links. It features the highest TDD throughput available and proprietary HDD for ultra-low latency.

Engineered for Performance

Ubiquiti’s INVICTUS custom silicon and proprietary radio architecture are designed specifically for long-distance, outdoor wireless applications.

Deployment Flexibility

The compact form factor allows the AF‑5X to be used with airFiber Slant 45 antennas, or instantly upgrade a Rocket link that uses a RocketDish RD‑5G30/RD‑5G34* antenna.

5GHz Carrier Backhaul for the World

Starting at $399 MSRP, the AF-5X features industry-leading 10.6 bps/Hz spectral efficiency, covering the entire 5 GHz spectrum with one radio, and delivering up to 500+ Mbps real throughput and 200+ km range.

Optimal Operation in Unlicensed Bands

Channel width flexibility allows you to independently configure TX and RX channel frequencies and place them anywhere within the radio band to avoid local interference. You also have the ability to program different uplink and downlink duty cycles to support asymmetric traffic requirements.
