Wireless Access Points/Bridges

Ubiquiti Networks introduces the airFiber® AF-4X, Ubiquiti's first licensed spectrum radio designed for the public safety sector. It meets the growing need of broadband capacity and optimizes use of the 4.9 GHz radio band with its industry-leading spectral efficiency and TDD throughput. The AF-4X allows you to customize airFiber backhaul links or upgrade existing Rocket® Point-to-Point (PtP) links.

Designed for the Public Safety Market

Deploy the high-performance and reliable AF-4X for municipal applications, including police, fire, and emergency medical services.

Engineered for Performance

Ubiquiti's INVICTUS™ custom silicon and proprietary radio architecture are designed specifically for long-distance, outdoor wireless applications.

Our INVICTUS core communications processing engine surpasses all of the limitations inherent to generic Wi-Fi chips to provide superior performance, long-range capability, and higher delivered throughput.

The airFiber X features industry-leading spectral efficiency of up to 17.1 Mbps/MHz, line-rate data packet processing of up to 525 Mbps of real data throughput, and innovative xtreme Range Technology (xRT™) for up to 200+ km in range.

4 GHz Backhaul

Mission-Critical Communications

The AF-4X covers the 4.9 GHz spectrum for public safety. Additional frequencies, from 4.7 GHz to 4.9 GHz, are supported in Europe and other regions (subject to local country regulations).

The AF-4X uses a proprietary radio communications protocol with AES-128 encryption to help ensure communication channels are secure.

Ultra-Low Latency with HDD Technology

The AF-4X is designed to provide the highest TDD throughput and lowest latency available using proprietary Hybrid Division Duplexing (HDD) technology.

Optimal Operation and Channel Configuration

The AF-4X supports up to 11 different channel width sizes to suit your deployment needs. You can configure independent TX and RX channel frequencies and place them anywhere within the radio band, and the channel centers are selectable in 1 MHz increments.

You also have the ability to program different uplink and downlink duty cycles to support asymmetric traffic requirements.

Co-Location

With space at a premium, the importance of being able to co-locate equipment is becoming an essential attribute for modern wireless networks. The AF-4X is engineered to permit multiple radios to operate side by side, allowing maximum spectral efficiency.

GPS Synchronization

Precise GPS frame synchronization enables co-located AF-4X radios to transmit and receive data without interfering with each other, enabling better frequency reuse and increased network stability.

Clean Power Output

Using advanced digital signal processing, the innovative AF-4X radio design has an ultra-clean transmitter output, reducing broadband noise, facilitating co-location, and enabling higher-order modulations like 1024QAM for greater throughput.

Deployment Flexibility

The AF-4X supports ± 45° slant polarization for improved noise immunity and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). The compact form factor of the airFiber X allows it to fit into the radio mount of Ubiquiti antennas, so installation requires no special tools. The airFiber X antennas are purpose-built with 45° slant polarity for seamless integration with the airFiber AF-4X.

Ten years ago, Ubiquiti sparked a global Wireless ISP revolution with the introduction of NanoStation® - a cost-disruptive 802.11 Wi-Fi long range outdoor plug and play radio. The NanoStation broke down technical and financial barriers for WISP's around the world, enabling nearly any operator to deploy scalable networks and grow profitable business models.

As bandwidth demands and scalability challenges increased through the years, Ubiquiti responded with performance-enhancing innovations such as the airMAX® TDMA protocol, PRISM® active RF filtering, and GPS synchronization - all working to extract every ounce of potential from consumer 802.11 Wi-Fi chipsets.
However, we always knew that one day growing subscriber bandwidth demands combined with an increasingly crowded unlicensed RF spectrum would expose the fundamental limitations of 802.11 Wi-Fi silicon and ultimately threaten the survival of our industry.

Years ago, a core group of engineers at Ubiquiti set out to make sure this day would never come. We began an ambitious plan that would span millions of man hours of development and tens of millions of dollars of investment. The result was a new technology and ASIC chipset created from the ground floor up specifically for the Wireless ISP industry - a technology we believe positions our Industry to succeed in the new challenging landscape of the future. Welcome to what we call the Long Term Ubiquiti vision, or simply LTU™.

Spectral Analysis
airView allows you to identify noise signatures and plan your networks to minimize noise interference. airView performs the following functions:

• Constantly monitors environmental noise
• Collects energy data points in real -time spectral views
• Helps optimize channel selection, network design, and wireless performance

airView runs in the background without disabling the wireless link, so there is no disruption to the network.

In airView, there are three spectral views, each of which represents different data.

• Waterfall Aggregate energy collected for each frequency
• Waveform Aggregate energy collected
• Ambient Noise Level Background noise energy shown as a function of frequency

airView provides powerful spectrum analyzer functionality, eliminating the need to rent or purchase additional equipment for conducting site surveys.

Unlike standard Wi-Fi protocol, Ubiquiti's Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) airMAX ac protocol allows each client to send and receive data using pre-designated time slots scheduled by an intelligent AP controller.
