airFiber 4x4 MIMO Multiplexer

What is the best way to increase airFiber backhaul throughput without adding a second antenna?

The airFiber 4x4 MIMO Multiplexer (AF-MPx4) doubles the capacity of an existing airFiber link by enabling 4x4 MIMO on a single antenna — up to 200% throughput gain without touching the tower structure. Simplifi Networks — the Authorized Master Distributor for Ubiquiti in Kenya and Uganda — supplies the AF-MPx4 to WISPs and operators across East Africa looking to scale backhaul capacity on constrained tower sites.

When adding a second dish isn't viable — due to tower loading, wind rating, or lease restrictions — the AF-MPx4 multiplexes two airFiber radios through one existing antenna for a fraction of the structural and financial cost.

About the airFiber 4x4 MIMO Multiplexer

ul>
  • Up to 200% throughput increase — Combining two 2x2 airFiber radio chains into a 4x4 MIMO configuration can triple effective link capacity — without any additional antenna structure on the tower.
  • Single antenna footprint — Reduces tower lease area and structural wind load versus adding a second dish — critical for East African hilltop sites with strict structural or landlord limitations.
  • Compatible with airFiber X and RocketDish antennas — Works with existing deployed antennas — protects the tower investment already made while delivering a major throughput upgrade.
  • 4.7 dB / 4.1 dB insertion loss (4.7/5 GHz) — Transparent RF performance with known, low cable loss values — link budget calculations remain predictable and accurate for your network planning.
  • Weatherproof RP-SMA connectors — All six RF ports are weatherproofed for permanent outdoor installation — reliable connectivity on exposed tower environments across Kenya and Uganda.

  • Helping East African WISPs Scale Smarter, Not Just Bigger
    • Authorized Master Distributor — Simplifi holds Ubiquiti's official distribution rights for Kenya and Uganda — the AF-MPx4 you receive is manufacturer-genuine and fully compatible with your deployed airFiber ecosystem.
    • Genuine Hardware — RF multiplexing hardware is precision-engineered — cable loss figures and connector weatherproofing depend entirely on manufacturing quality. Ours is factory-sourced and verified.
    • Official Local Warranty — Backhaul multiplexer warranty resolved locally in Nairobi and Kampala — no international shipping of RF hardware that's critical to your network uptime.
    • B2B Technical Support — 4x4 MIMO configuration planning, tower loading assessments, and airFiber radio pairing guidance for capacity upgrade projects across East Africa.
