Featuring our INVICTUS™ custom silicon for 2+ million packets-per-second
processing, the airFiber®24HD is ideal for outdoor, PtP bridging and backhaul
applications requiring maximum performance.

Revolutionary Wireless Technology

Introducing airFiber®, a truly revolutionary Point-to-Point wireless
platform from Ubiquiti Networks. Housed in a compact, highly efficient form
factor, airFiber delivers amazing wireless gigabit+ performance, low latency,
and long range. airFiber ushers in a new era in price-disruptive wireless
technology ideal for carrier backhaul, building-to-building enterprise use,
or public safety applications.

Efficient by Design

Every detail of airFiber was designed and engineered by the Ubiquiti
R&D Team. From the silicon chip up to the innovative split-antenna
architecture, the Ubiquiti R&D Team created airFiber to deliver superior
throughput with efficiency. airFiber was purpose-built to create a high
performance backhaul.

Plug and Play Deployment

Based on Ubiquiti’s innovative and intuitive airOS®, the airFiber Configuration
Interface enables quick deployment. With installation efficiency in mind, the
mechanical design allows easy installation by one person. A two-person
installation crew can effectively install and align an airFiber link.

To fine-tune the alignment, the received signal levels can be conveniently
accessed via any of these methods:

Designed for Freedom

airFiber operates in worldwide, license-free, 24 or 5 GHz frequencies.
Anyone around the world can purchase and operate airFiber without any special
permits, paperwork, or added licensing costs. Users are free to locate,
deploy, and operate airFiber practically anywhere they choose (subject to
local country regulations).

Built for Speed and Range

airFiber delivers gigabit performance at 1.2+ Gbps for airFiber AF-5/AF-5U,
1.5+ Gbps for airFiber AF-24, and 2 Gbps for airFiber AF-24HD. To put
this in perspective, airFiber can transmit a 100 MB file in less than a
second. Rivaling common broadband providers, airFiber download speed is up to
100x faster. With speed and throughput surpassing conventional wired
backhauls, airFiber prevails over expensive and labor-intensive wired
infrastructures.

Innovative Proprietary Modem

Technology Ubiquiti’s innovative proprietary modem technology was
purpose-built to address the specific challenges of outdoor, PtP
(Point?to-Point) bridging and high-performance network backhauls. Every
aspect of the radio has been carefully simulated and designed to optimize
range, speed, and latency performance in the harshest RF noise
environments.

Synchronous Data Transmission and Reception

Conventional wireless standards impose a latency by having to receive a
packet before a packet is transmitted. airFiber can transmit data
synchronously without any wait time. airFiber features traditional TDD and
FDD modes of operation in addition to the proprietary Hybrid Division
Duplexing (HDD) mode, which provides a breakthrough in range and spectral
efficiency performance. Based on the ranging algorithm built into the air
protocol, the airFiber 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.

Innovative Dual-Antenna Architecture

airFiber features a dual-independent, 2×2 MIMO, high-gain reflector antenna
system. Separate yet integrated transmit (TX) and receive (RX) antennas help
extend link budgets by eliminating the extra RF losses caused by the switches
or duplexers required in systems with common TX/RX antennas.

Network Management

airFiber supports a variety of features to help you manage your
network:

Network management options: A choice between the greater security of
out-of-band management and the convenience of in-band management.
SNMP support: Full SNMP support to aid in network management.
Local and remote: airFiber status information Available on the Main tab of
the airFiber Configuration Interface.
Additional Product Notes
Revolutionary Performance
-Featuring the world’s best unlicensed-band spectral efficiency at 15.9
bps/Hz, the airFiber®24 HD supports the dense modulation rates, up to 256QAM,
that are required for high data rates, up to 2 Gbps.
Proven Links: 20+ km
– The airFiber®24 HD features the most powerful automatic compensation for
path loss degradation due to rain fade, so it provides the best range – up to
20+ km – among 24 GHz products and allows for constellation threshold
extension.
Low-Latency Carrier Backhaul
– The airFiber®24 HD supports FDD (Frequency Division Duplexing) in
full-duplex mode for 0.2 millisecond latency, resulting in increased
efficiency for carrier-class network backhauls.
24 GHz Unlicensed Band
– The airFiber®24 HD operates in worldwide, license-free, 24 GHz
frequencies. Users can deploy airFiber®24HD almost anywhere they choose
(subject to local country regulations).
