Overview:
Ubiquiti Networks continues to disrupt the wireless broadband market with revolutionary technology at breakthrough pricing, by introducing the airFiber® AF‑11FX, a radio purpose-built for outdoor PtP bridging and carrier-class network backhauls using the licensed 11 GHz radio band. The AF‑11FX breaks free from the congested 5 GHz band to help meet the growing need for broadband capacity. For maximum flexibility, the airFiber AF‑11FX works with the Ubiquiti® AF-11G35 antenna, or with most third-party antennas using an optional adapter kit (not included).
Groundbreaking Design
The AF-11FX 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-11FX is specially engineered for the 11 GHz band, with a custom modem and radio design optimized for the efficient transport of data. Specific advantages of the AF‑11FX include:
- True Full-Duplex Design - The AF‑11FX 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‑11FX features a unique, built-in, rain-fade mitigation strategy for increased link robustness.
- 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‑11FX can use single (SISO) or bonded (MIMO)* channels, depending on your specific licensing requirements. The AF‑11FX 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-11FX features a unique modular duplexer design to suit multiple frequency configurations. Each AF-11FX 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-11FX 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
- Power Source Options - Support for PoE or DC power gives
you the flexibility to power the
AF-11FX 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‑11FX 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.
Ubiquiti offers the AF-11G35 antenna, specially designed for the AF‑11FX radio, so that installation requires no special tools. The AF‑11G35 comes preconfigured with V/H polarization, and can be configured to support ± 45° slant polarization for improved noise immunity and Signal‑to‑Noise Ratio (SNR), dependent on regulatory region.
