Ubiquiti AF-24HD airFiber 24HD, 24GHz Full Duplex Point-to-Point 2 Gbps Radio

Revolutionary Wireless Technology 
Introducing airFiber®, a truly revolutionary Point-to-Point wireless platform from Ubiquiti Networks. Housed in a compact, highly efficient form factor, airFiber delivers amazing wireless gigabit+ performance, low latency, and long range. airFiber ushers in a new era in price-disruptive wireless technology ideal for carrier backhaul, building-to-building enterprise use, or public safety applications.

Efficient by Design 
Every detail of airFiber was designed and engineered by the Ubiquiti R&D Team. From the silicon chip up to the innovative split-antenna architecture, the Ubiquiti R&D Team created airFiber to deliver superior throughput with efficiency. airFiber was purpose-built to create a high performance backhaul.

Plug and Play 
Deployment Based on Ubiquiti’s innovative and intuitive airOS®, the airFiber Configuration Interface enables quick deployment. With installation efficiency in mind, the mechanical design allows easy installation by one person. A two-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 any of these methods: 
• airFiber LED display
• airFiber Configuration Interface 
• Audio tone feature

Innovative Proprietary Modem Technology 
Ubiquiti’s innovative proprietary modem technology was purpose-built to address the specific challenges of outdoor, PtP (Point‑to-Point) bridging and high-performance network backhauls. Every aspect of the radio has been carefully simulated and designed to optimize range, speed, and latency performance in the harshest RF noise environments. 

Synchronous Data Transmission and Reception 
Conventional wireless standards impose a latency by having to receive a packet before a packet is transmitted. airFiber can transmit data synchronously without any wait time. airFiber features traditional TDD and FDD modes of operation in addition to the proprietary Hybrid Division Duplexing (HDD) mode, which provides a breakthrough in range and spectral efficiency performance.
Based on the ranging algorithm built into the air protocol, the airFiber radios use patent-pending HDD technology to calculate the propagation delay and know when each radio can transmit and receive, so they send packets in precise synchronization. Packet transmission latency is virtually eliminated. 

Innovative Dual-Antenna Architecture 
airFiber features a dual-independent, 2x2 MIMO, high-gain reflector antenna system. Separate yet integrated transmit (TX) and receive (RX) antennas help extend link budgets by eliminating the extra RF losses caused by the switches or duplexers required in systems with common TX/RX antennas.

Network Management 
airFiber supports a variety of features to help you manage your network: 
• Network management options A choice between the greater security of out-of-band management and the convenience of in-band management.
• SNMP support Full SNMP support to aid in network management. 
• Local and remote airFiber status information Available on the Main tab of the airFiber Configuration Interface.

Best-in-Class Performance and Range
The INVICTUS custom silicon dramatically improves wireless performance. The AF-24HD model supports the dense modulation rates, up to 256QAM, that are required for high data rates, up to 2 Gbps.
The airFiber AF-24/AF-24HD features the most powerful automatic compensation for path loss degradation due to rain fade, so it provides the best range among 24 GHz products and allows for constellation threshold extension.

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