DATASHEET

About the airFiber 60 Long-Range

The AF60-LR (airFiber 60 Long-Range) is a high-performance 60 GHz PtP wireless radio designed for extreme long-distance backhaul across East Africa — delivering 2 Gbps throughput at ranges exceeding 12 km through a precision 38 dBi antenna with 1.6° × 1.6° beamwidth and included precision alignment kit. Measuring ⌀413 × 360 mm (⌀16.3 × 14.2") and weighing 1.5 kg (3.3 lb) without or 2.7 kg (6 lb) with mount, the AF60-LR features an aluminium and UV-stabilised polycarbonate enclosure with galvanised steel mount, supporting pole diameters of 25.4–76.2 mm (1–3"). Powered by a Quad-Core ARM® Cortex® A7 with 256 MB memory. Supports both PtP and PtMP station operating modes in bridge mode. Compatible with Wave AP as a PtMP client.

The 60 GHz main radio operates across 57–71 GHz worldwide with channel bandwidths of 2160 and 1080 MHz and 16QAM and QPSK modulation. The 38 dBi vertically-linear polarised antenna with 1.6° × 1.6° precision beamwidth concentrates RF energy for maximum long-range performance and interference immunity — critical for 12+ km East African links across varied terrain. WPA2-PSK (AES) encryption secures all wireless links. Integrated GPS enables GPS synchronisation and precise positioning.

Advanced software features include:
  • Wave AI and Wave Technology for automated optimisation
  • UISP integration, ping watchdog, NTP client, and device discovery
  • Antenna alignment, discovery utility, ping, speed test, and traceroute utilities
  • Bridge mode networking
Additional specifications:
  • Wind loading: 420 N at 200 km/h (94.4 lbf at 125 mph)
  • Supported voltage range: 44–54V DC / 22–27V DC
  • Operating temperature: -40°C to 60°C (-40°F to 140°F)
  • Operating humidity: 5–95% non-condensing
  • FCC, IC, and CE certified, fully NDAA compliant

Ideal for extreme long-distance wireless backhaul, remote site connectivity, ISP backbone infrastructure, and mission-critical PtP deployments across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and the wider East and Central Africa region requiring 60 GHz 2 Gbps throughput at 12+ km range with 38 dBi precision alignment, Wave Technology optimisation, and GPS synchronisation.
