Ubiquiti Licensed Backhaul Radio

Ubiquiti Licensed Backhaul Radio

Ubiquiti continues to disrupt the wireless broadband market with revolutionary technology at breakthrough pricing, by introducing the airFiber® AF-11, a radio purpose-built for outdoor PtP bridging and carrier-class network backhauls using the licensed 11 GHz radio band.

The AF-11 breaks free from the congested 5 GHz band to help meet the growing need for broadband capacity.

For maximum flexibility, the airFiber AF-11 works with the Ubiquiti® AF-11G35 antenna, or with most third-party antennas using an optional adapter kit (not included).

Groundbreaking Design

The AF-11 gives exceptional performance compared to other 11 GHz radios in its price range. Unlike other products that use adaptations of Wi-Fi-based designs, the AF-11 is specially engineered for the 11 GHz band, with a custom modem and radio design optimized for the efficient transport of data.

Product Advantages

True Full-Duplex Design
The AF-11 offers a true FDD solution that fully satisfies all licensing requirements for the 11 GHz band.

Ultra-Low Latency
Overall customer experience and system capacity are enhanced with FDD performance.

Enhanced Robustness
The AF-11 uses managed licensed frequencies to create a robust, interference-free link that provides the maximum possible throughput.

Extended Range
The RF power amplifiers feature a unique bias scheme, allowing high-order constellations at longer ranges.

Channel Configuration

Optimized Channels

The airFiber AF-11 can use single (SISO) or bonded (MIMO) channels, depending on your specific licensing requirements. The AF-11 also features different channel width sizes to suit your deployment needs, and you can independently configure TX and RX channel frequencies.

Reconfigurable Duplexers

The AF-11 features a unique modular duplexer design to suit multiple frequency configurations.

Each AF-11 radio can be configured to support any allowable frequency by simply changing the duplexers (sold separately) for high-band or low-band use in the 10.7 - 11.7 GHz allocation.

Each duplexer has a low channel and a high channel that can be configured by simply reversing the position of the duplexer.

Highest Performance Value

The compact AF-11 supports high-order constellations - up to 1024QAM - allowing it to deliver the greatest spectral efficiency in its class.

Advanced Engineering

Ubiquiti's INVICTUS™ 2 custom silicon and proprietary radio architecture are designed specifically for long-distance, outdoor wireless applications, providing superior performance, long-range capability, and higher delivered throughput.

Deployment Flexibility

The airFiber AF-11 provides a number of deployment options including:

Power Source Options

Support for PoE or DC power gives you the flexibility to power the AF-11 separately from Ethernet traffic.
PoE power can be supplied on the DATA port, using the provided PoE adapter. DC power can be supplied using the terminal block. Versatile, Ruggedized N-Type Connectors

N-connectors allow the AF-11 to be used with either the Ubiquiti AF-11G35 antenna or a variety of commonly available antennas.

Specially designed silicone boots provide a weatherproof barrier against dust and moisture.
