5 GHz Point-to-Point Radio

The Ubiquiti AF-5XHD is a new 5 GHz airFiber radio designed for Point-to-Point links. It uses proprietary LTU technology instead of 802.11 Wi-Fi to deliver wireless data rates up to 1Gbps. The unit includes a 24V 1A PoE Gigabit adapter and an IP67 upgrade kit for outdoor protection. It suits installers building dedicated wireless backhaul or broadband connections.

100 MHz Channel Bandwidth Limit

The radio supports channel bandwidths up to 100 MHz in the 5 GHz band. This width determines the maximum throughput ceiling of 1Gbps. The single 10/100/1000 Ethernet port provides the wired handoff. LTU protocol does not interoperate with standard 802.11 clients or access points. The link requires a matched pair of LTU radios and clear line of sight.

Antenna and Mounting Check

You must pair this radio with a compatible Ubiquiti airFiber X or RocketDish antenna; it has no integrated antenna. Verify the antenna gain and pattern match your link distance and regulatory limits. Confirm the mounting hardware fits the radio dimensions of 8.82 by 3.23 by 1.89 inches and 0.77 lb weight. Ensure the site operates within the -40 to 55°C temperature range.

Questions about this item

What capacity or version should I pick for a 5 GHz point-to-point link?

The AF-5XHD is a single model rated for up to 1 Gbps wireless data rates using LTU technology in the 5 GHz band. It pairs with compatible airFiber X or RocketDish antennas to complete the link.

What does the 1 Gbps wireless rate mean once the radio is installed?

That figure is the maximum PHY throughput under ideal conditions. Real-world throughput will be lower and depends on link distance, antenna choice, channel width up to 100 MHz, interference and alignment quality.

What does the 10/100/1000 Ethernet port cap in practice?

The Gigabit Ethernet port limits wired throughput to 1000 Mbps, so the 1 Gbps wireless link cannot exceed that on the cable side. The included 24 V 1 A PoE adapter powers the radio over the same cable.
