Frequently Asked Questions
What are typical distances a carrier-class backhaul radio can reliably cover?
Carrier backhaul radios like the AF-3X are engineered for long-distance point-to-point links, often exceeding 50 km or more depending on antenna selection, spectrum band, and local RF conditions. Contact Procure.ae for specific link budget calculations for your deployment.
Can I use this AirFiber radio across different frequency bands on the same network?
The AF-3X supports multiple unlicensed spectrum bands (2.4, 3, 4, 5, and 11 GHz), allowing you to select the band best suited to your region, interference environment, and link distance. Each link typically operates on a single chosen band.
What types of networks need this kind of carrier backhaul solution?
Carrier backhaul radios are used by ISPs, cellular carriers, and large enterprises to connect remote sites, network hubs, and distribution points with high-capacity wireless links where fiber is unavailable or cost-prohibitive.
How does INVICTUS custom silicon benefit the radio performance?
INVICTUS silicon is Ubiquiti's custom-designed chipset that enables efficient processing for high-throughput, low-latency backhaul performance and supports flexible channel width configurations to optimize for your link conditions.
Can I adjust the channel width on this radio for different link scenarios?
Yes, the AF-3X offers flexible channel width options, letting you balance throughput and link stability based on your local interference levels and distance requirements.
What environmental conditions must an outdoor backhaul radio withstand?
Carrier-class radios must survive outdoor deployment with temperature extremes, humidity, and weather exposure; always verify IP ratings and installation guidance with Procure.ae before mounting in exposed locations.
