Superior 24 GHz Performance AF-24HD provides a breakthrough in 24 GHz backhaul performance. Systems for millimeteråäÌÝÌÓwave frequencies typically experience RF losses when part of the RF is lost in the switches and filters. The Ubiquiti R&D team eliminated such RF losses with separate yet integrated TX and RX antennas, so the link budget is robust and the airFiber AF-24HD has better noise figure and higher transmit power efficiency.
Here are some features of the Airfiber24 (HD) heavy-duty model:
Revolutionary Wireless Technology: Featuring the world’s best unlicensed-band spectral efficiency at 15.9 bps/Hz, the airFiber®24 HD supports the dense modulation rates, up to 256QAM, that are required for high data rates, up to 2 Gbps.
Low-Latency Carrier Backhaul: The airFiber24 HD supports FDD (Frequency Division Duplexing) in full-duplex mode for 0.2 millisecond latency, resulting in increased efficiency for carrier-class network backhauls.
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 configuration and 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.
Advanced Design: AirFiber uses patent-pending technology to virtually eliminate packet transmission latency. 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.
Designed for Freedom: AirFiber operates in the worldwide, license-free, 24 GHz frequency. Anyone around the world can purchase and operate airFiber without any special permits, paperwork, or added licensing costs. Users are free to locate, deploy, and operate airFiber practically anywhere they choose.
Built for Speed: AirFiber delivers 1.4+ Gbps, aggregate throughput. To put this in perspective, airFiber can transmit a 100 MB file in less than a second. Rivaling common broadband providers, airFiber download speed is up to 100x faster.With speed and throughput surpassing conventional wired backhauls, airFiber prevails over expensive and labor-intensive wired infrastructures.
Innovative Proprietary Modem Technology: Ubiquiti’s innovative proprietary modem technology was built from the ground up to address the specific challenges of outdoor, license-free, wireless operation. Every aspect of the radio has been carefully simulated and designed to optimize range, speed, and latency performance in the harshest RF noise environments. airFiber features traditional TDD and FDD modes of operation in addition to the innovative Hybrid Division Duplexing (HDD) mode, which provides a breakthrough in range and spectral efficiency performance.
Proven Links: 20+ km: The airFiber24 HD features the most powerful automatic compensation for path loss degradation due to rain fade, so it provides the best range – up to 20+ km – among 24 GHz products and allows for constellation threshold extension.
