airFiber 5XHD

The AF-5XHD (airFiber 5XHD) is a true 1+ Gbps spectrally efficient PtP radio with GPS synchronisation, 100+ km range, and wide-band 4.8–6.2 GHz operation for carrier-grade WISP and ISP backhaul deployments across East Africa. This 5 GHz wide-band 1+ Gbps airFiber PtP backhaul radio with IP67 weatherproofing delivers:
  • 1+ Gbps maximum throughput over 100+ km range
  • Wide operating frequency: 4800–6200 MHz worldwide
  • 29 dBm maximum TX power (region dependent)
  • Channel bandwidth: 10/20/30/40/50/60/80/100 MHz — programmable uplink/downlink duty cycles
  • AES-256 encryption
  • Dedicated spectral analysis radio
  • Integrated GPS synchronisation with external magnetic base GPS antenna
  • GPS frequency accuracy: ±0.2 ppm with GPS sync / ±2.5 ppm without
  • Passive PoE 4-pair and 2-pair powered at 12W maximum (18–54V DC)
  • 24V, 1A gigabit PoE adapter included
  • (2) GbE RJ45 networking interfaces
  • IP67 weatherproofing (after IP67 upgrade kit installation — included)
  • Compatible with airMAX antenna, airFiber X mount (Rocket mount compatible)
  • 224 × 82 × 48 mm (8.8 × 3.2 × 1.9") — 0.4 kg (0.8 lb)
for carrier-grade wireless backhaul, WISP infrastructure, ISP core links, and mission-critical PtP connectivity across Kenya, Uganda, and the region.
Perfect for carrier-grade wireless backhaul, WISP infrastructure, ISP core links, mission-critical PtP connectivity, building-to-building enterprise links, and any deployment requiring spectrally efficient 1+ Gbps PtP radio performance with GPS synchronisation, wide-band operation, and AES-256 encryption across East and Central Africa.

DATASHEET

About the airFiber 5XHD

The AF-5XHD (airFiber 5XHD) is a true 1+ Gbps spectrally efficient airFiber PtP backhaul radio purpose-designed for carrier and WISP operators across East Africa requiring gigabit wireless performance at 100+ km range — disrupting the economics of fibre-equivalent backhaul. In a compact 224 × 82 × 48 mm (8.8 × 3.2 × 1.9") enclosure weighing 0.4 kg (0.8 lb), the AF-5XHD features a modular airFiber radio design compatible with a wide range of Ubiquiti antennas. IP67 weatherproofing is achieved after installation of the included IP67 upgrade kit. Compatible with airFiber X mount (Rocket mount compatible) and GPS pole mount included. Operating temperature: -40°C to 55°C (-40°F to 131°F). Fully NDAA compliant.

The AF-5XHD operates across the wide 4800–6200 MHz worldwide frequency range — the broadest in the airFiber lineup — with 29 dBm maximum TX power (region dependent) delivering 1+ Gbps maximum throughput over 100+ km links. Channel bandwidth of 10/20/30/40/50/60/80/100 MHz with programmable uplink and downlink duty cycles provides maximum spectral flexibility. GPS synchronisation via external magnetic base GPS antenna delivers ±0.2 ppm frequency accuracy — enabling GPS-synchronised multi-radio deployments across East African tower sites. AES-256 encryption secures all backhaul traffic. (2) GbE RJ45 ports provide primary data and management connectivity. Powered via passive PoE 4-pair or 2-pair at 12W maximum (18–54V DC) with included 24V, 1A gigabit PoE adapter. 2+ Mpps processing.
Additional specifications:
  • PtP Master/Slave operating mode
  • CE, FCC, and IC certified, fully NDAA compliant

Ideal for carrier-grade wireless backhaul, WISP infrastructure, ISP core links, mission-critical PtP connectivity, and enterprise wireless deployments across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and the wider East and Central Africa region requiring 1+ Gbps spectrally efficient PtP performance, 100+ km range, wide-band 4.8–6.2 GHz operation, GPS synchronisation, AES-256 encryption, and IP67 weatherproofing.
