Why Choose This?

The Ubiquiti AirFiber 5XHD is a high-performance 5GHz carrier backhaul radio engineered for Wireless ISPs (WISPs), delivering true 1+ Gbps throughput over 100+ km ranges with LTU technology that outperforms traditional Wi-Fi. Its noise-resilient design, featuring advanced spectral efficiency up to 21.2 bps/Hz and proprietary RF filtering, ensures reliable operation in crowded spectrum environments. Ideal for long-range PTP links, it offers low latency, GPS synchronization, and rugged IP67 weatherproofing for demanding outdoor deployments.

Key Features

• LTU Technology – Custom silicon enables 1.34 Gbps real throughput and 21.2 bps/Hz spectral efficiency, breaking Wi-Fi limitations for superior ISP backhaul.
• Noise Resilient PTP – Proprietary RF filtering and xtreme Range Technology (xRT) provide excellent interference immunity and up to 100+ km range.
• Adaptive Modulation to 4096QAM – Dynamically adjusts up to highest-order modulation for optimal performance in varying conditions (firmware 1.1.2+).
• GPS Synchronization – Configurable 2-5 ms frames with frequency accuracy <0.2 ppm, enabling interference-free co-location and compatibility with airMAX.
• IP67 Weatherproofing – Included upgrade kit ensures dust/water protection, plus wide -40 to 55°C operation for harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: What is the maximum real-world throughput? Up to 1.34 Gbps aggregate with 4096QAM on 100 MHz channels (firmware 1.1.2+), but actual performance varies by distance, interference, modulation, and environmental conditions.
• Q: Does it support GPS synchronization? Yes, configurable for 2/2.5/4/5 ms frames with external magnetic GPS antenna; achieves <0.2 ppm accuracy for co-location without interference.
• Q: Is it compatible with older airFiber models like AF-5X? No, AF-5XHD uses new LTU architecture incompatible with AF-5X; pair with another AF-5XHD or compatible antennas like airFiber X or RocketDish.
• Q: What channel bandwidths are supported? 10/20/30/40/50/60/80/100 MHz selectable; supports split TX/RX frequency and bandwidth (firmware updates required for some features).
• Q: How rugged is it for outdoor use? IP67 rated after installing included upgrade kit; operates -40 to 55°C with enhanced surge protection and wide 18-54VDC input.
