Description
The airFiber AF-3X 3 GHz Carrier Backhaul Radio 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 AF-3X also allows users to customize backhaul links or upgrade existing PtP links. The airFiber AF-3X operates using the 3 GHz frequency band and features a range of 656,168' / 200,000m. Included with this device is a GPS antenna mount, an external GPS antenna, a metal strap, two cable ties, a 24V/1A airFiber PoE adapter with a mounting bracket, and a power cord.Performance Ubiquiti's INVICTUS silicon and radio architecture are designed specifically for long-distance, outdoor wireless applications. Their INVICTUS core communications processing engine surpasses virtually all of the limitations inherent to generic Wi-Fi chips to help provide superior performance, long-range capability, DFS flexibility, and power output.Backhaul The 3 GHz frequency band offers interference-free operation, enabling the AF-3X to provide a high-reliability backhaul solution, although a license may be required in some regions.Operation in Unlicensed Bands Channel width flexibility (10/20/30/40/50 MHz) allows independent TX and RX channel frequency configurations virtually 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 requirementsLow Latency with HDD Technology The airFiber AF-3X is designed to provide the highest TDD throughput and lowest latency available using proprietary Hybrid Division Duplexing (HDD) technology.Co-Location With tower space at a premium, the importance of being able to co-locate equipment is becoming an essential attribute for modern wireless networks. The airFiber AF-3X is engineered to permit multiple radios to operate side by side, allowing maximum spectral efficiency.GPS Synchronization Precise GPS frame synchronization enables co-located airFiber AF-3X radios to transmit and receive data without interfering with each other, enabling better frequency reuse and increased network stability.Clean Power Output Using advanced digital signal processing, the innovative airFiber AF-3X radio design has an ultra-clean transmitter output, reducing broadband noise, facilitating co-location, and enabling higher-order modulations like 256QAM for greater throughput.
