Frequently Asked Questions
How does 1.4+ Gbps throughput at 24 GHz enable wireless alternatives to fiber?
The high bandwidth supports residential and business service delivery via wireless instead of expensive fiber runs; ideal for underserved areas or temporary deployments.
What does sub-1 ms latency mean for real-time applications?
Latency under 1 millisecond enables voice calls, video conferencing, and online gaming over wireless with quality indistinguishable from wired; critical for professional use.
Can the AF-24 reach beyond 13 km, or is that the practical limit?
Links exceeding 13 km are proven; exact distance depends on antenna gain, height, and line-of-sight—contact Procure.ae for a site survey or link budget analysis.
How does full-duplex FDD operation improve 24 GHz wireless?
Full-duplex (simultaneous transmit and receive on different frequencies) eliminates half-duplex delays, improving responsiveness and supporting higher traffic volumes than TDD systems.
Is the AF-24 suitable for meshing or only point-to-point links?
The AF-24 is optimized for point-to-point backhaul; mesh or multi-hop capabilities are not standard—confirm with Procure.ae if your deployment requires mesh routing.
How does 24 GHz unlicensed spectrum compare to licensed bands like 11 GHz?
Unlicensed 24 GHz is cheaper and faster to deploy but allows interference from other systems; licensed bands guarantee exclusive access and better reliability—choose based on your interference environment.
How does Procure.ae support procurement of 24 GHz wireless equipment for GCC deployments?
Procure.ae supplies point-to-point radio systems to ISPs, enterprises, and service providers; contact us for AF-24 availability and system design consultation.
What installation and site survey support does Procure.ae provide for wireless deployments?
Our team can advise on link budget, antenna selection, and deployment best practices; detailed site surveys are available by contacting Procure.ae.
What are the full technical specifications for the AF-24 radio?
The AF-24 delivers 1.4+ Gbps in the 24 GHz band with FDD full-duplex and sub-1 ms latency; contact Procure.ae for modulation, channel widths, and power details.
What antenna options are available for the AF-24?
Compatible directional antennas are sold separately; confirm gain and polarization options with Procure.ae for your link distance.
What warranty covers the AF-24 radio for professional deployments?
Warranty terms are not specified; contact Procure.ae to confirm coverage for hardware failure, RF performance, and technical support options.
