Key Features and Specifications

• Technology: It leverages Ubiquiti's custom LTU (Long-Term Ubiquiti) technology, which is a proprietary radio platform designed for high-performance, long-distance wireless links. LTU is a major step up from the airMAX ac protocol, offering significantly higher throughput, lower latency, and better noise immunity.

• High Throughput: The AF-5XHD is capable of achieving real TCP/IP throughput of 1.34 Gbps, making it an ideal solution for high-capacity backhaul and network connectivity.

• Operating Frequency: It operates in the 5 GHz frequency band (4.9 - 6.2 GHz) with a wide channel width flexibility, allowing it to utilize a variety of channels to find the cleanest available spectrum.³

   

• Slant 45° Polarization: The radio is designed to work with Ubiquiti's airFiber X antennas (like the AF-5G23-S45 or AF-5G30-S45) that use 45° slant polarization.⁴ This unique polarization helps to significantly reduce interference and improve co-location with other 5 GHz radios.

   

• Robust Hardware:

  • Latency: It boasts a very low latency, which is critical for applications like VoIP and online gaming.⁵

     

  • GPS Synchronization: It has built-in GPS synchronization, which allows multiple radios to be deployed on the same tower without interfering with each other.⁶

     

  • Separate Management Radio: A dedicated management radio allows for easy setup and configuration via Wi-Fi from a mobile device, without needing a wired connection to the radio's Ethernet port.

• Power over Ethernet (PoE): The AF-5XHD is powered by 24V passive PoE, and a compatible Gigabit PoE adapter is typically included.⁷

   

• Physical Design: The radio unit is a compact, weatherproof enclosure designed for outdoor mounting.⁸ It attaches directly to the back of a compatible airFiber X dish antenna.

   

• Software: It is managed by Ubiquiti's airOS LTU software, which provides a rich set of features, including a real-time airView spectrum analyzer, RF analysis tools, and powerful configuration options.

In summary, the Ubiquiti airFiber 5XHD is a powerful, carrier-class radio built for high-demand, long-distance wireless links.⁹ Its combination of advanced LTU technology, high throughput, and robust design makes it a top choice for professional network applications.
