from $999
Operating on the 5 GHz frequency band, the airFiber AF-5U High-Band 5 GHz Point-to-Point Gigabit Radio Bridge from Ubiquiti Networks offers point to point connectivity at long distances of over 62 miles. This enhanced coverage provides a reliable backhaul connection which is an essential part of many building-to-building enterprise network configurations. With a dual-antenna architecture, 2x2 MIMO functionality separates the transmit and receive data streams allowing for increased bandwidth and a more reliable connection. Setup of this PtP Gigabit radio is simple thanks to the airFiber Configuration Interface which can be installed by a single network tech. Once installed, 12 dedicated LED indicators make it easy to see the status of various aspects of the network including data port link/activity, data port speed, management port link/activity, and much more.
