Puente inalámbrico Ubiquiti AirFiber AF-5XHD 5 GHz estándar WLAN

The Ubiquiti AirFiber AF-5XHD is a high-performance 5 GHz wireless bridge designed for point-to-point backhaul links. It delivers true 1 Gbps+ throughput using a spectrally efficient, noise-resilient PTP technology created specifically for WISPs. The unit combines custom hardware and a dedicated communications processing engine to overcome limitations of generic Wi‑Fi chips, and its IP67-rated enclosure provides water resistance for reliable outdoor operation.

Advantages

AirFiber AF-5XHD offers spectrally efficient LTU technology that improves throughput compared with conventional 802.11n/ac implementations, enabling higher data rates in limited spectrum. The product includes integrated PoE support for simplified installation, 256-bit AES encryption for secure links, and dual Ethernet ports with 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds. Its compact, lightweight design and IP67 durability make it suitable for outdoor deployments in varying weather conditions.

How to use

Mount the AirFiber AF-5XHD at each end of the intended link with clear line-of-sight between units. Connect the device to your network using the RJ-45 Ethernet ports and supply power via a compatible PoE injector or switch. Configure the point-to-point link parameters and encryption settings using Ubiquiti’s management interface to establish a secure high-throughput connection. Align antennas carefully to optimise signal strength and throughput.

Recommendations

Place units with unobstructed line of sight, verify firmware is up to date, and use appropriate surge protection and grounding for outdoor installations to ensure stable, long-term operation.
