UBIQUITI airFIBER AF 24

The Ubiquiti Networks AF-24 is designed for PtP bridging, outdoor, and carrier-class network backhauls. It offers a throughput of over 1.4 Gbps. This airFiber 24 provides high-quality performance with over 13 + km links. It supports Frequency Division Duplexing in full-duplex mode for less than 1 ms latency that ensures enhanced efficiency for carrier-class network backhauls. This Ubiquiti Networks device functions in the license-free 24 GHz frequencies.

Design

From the silicon chip up to the split-antenna architecture, airFiber delivers optimal throughput with efficiency. The airFiber is built to create a high performance backhaul.

Plug and Play Deployment

Based on intuitive airOS, the airFiber configuration interface enables quick deployment. With installation efficiency in mind, the mechanical design allows easy installation by one person. A 2-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 airFiber LED display, airFiber Configuration Interface, or Audio tone feature.

24 GHz Operation

The airFiber operates in 24 GHz frequencies for use in the United States of America. Other versions are available for use in worldwide, license-free or 5 GHz frequencies

Built for Speed and Range

The airFiber AF24 delivers Gigabit performance at 1.4+ Gb/s. To put this in perspective, airFiber can transmit a 100MB file in less than a second. With speed and throughput surpassing conventional wired backhauls, airFiber prevails over expensive and labor-intensive wired infrastructures. The airFiber is built for long-range use, up to 13+ km for airFiber AF24, which launches the xtreme Range Technology (xRT) feature.

Proprietary Modem Technology

The Proprietary Modem technology was built to address the specific challenges of outdoor, point-to-point bridging and high-performance network backhauls. Every aspect of the radio has been simulated and designed to optimize range, speed, and latency performance in the harsh RF noise environments.

Network Management Options

The airFiber supports network management which is It a choice between the greater security of out-of-band management and the convenience of in-band management.

SNMP Support

The airFiber supports full SNMP support to aid in network management.

Local and Remote airFiber Status Information

Local and remote airFiber status information is available on the Main tab of the airFiber Configuration Interface.

24 GHz Performance

Systems for millimeter-wave frequencies typically experience Radio Frequency (RF) losses, which occur when a part of the RF is lost in the switches and filters. Ubiquiti eliminates such RF losses with separate TX and RX antennas, so the link budget is robust and airFiber AF24 has better noise figure and higher transmit power efficiency.

Mechanical Assembly

The airFiber mechanical assembly has been tested to meet MIL-STD-810G, a rigorous United States Military Standard (MIL-STD) that defines a variety of challenging environmental conditions. Its mechanical assembly has also undergone vibration testing using an extended version of IEC 60068-2-6, an environmental standard of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
