Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 5 GHz point-to-point backhaul system?
A 5 GHz point-to-point backhaul creates a dedicated wireless link between two fixed locations, typically towers or buildings. The airFiber AF-5 uses full duplex technology to transmit and receive simultaneously, maximizing throughput for high-capacity network connections.
Why choose full duplex Gigabit backhaul over half-duplex alternatives?
Full duplex backhaul eliminates transmission delays by allowing simultaneous two-way communication, resulting in lower latency and higher effective throughput compared to half-duplex systems. This is critical for ISP backhaul and enterprise network reliability.
Is the AF-5-US compatible with international networks?
The AF-5-US is specifically locked to US country code for FCC compliance and is designed for North American deployment. International variants use different frequency allocations; contact your regional Ubiquiti distributor for non-US models.
What applications benefit most from this wireless backhaul solution?
The airFiber AF-5 excels in ISP backhaul networks, tower-to-tower connectivity, enterprise campus links, and long-distance point-to-point wireless connections where Gigabit capacity and carrier-grade reliability are essential.
