Frequently Asked Questions
What advantage does 100 MHz channel bandwidth offer in a 5 GHz backhaul radio?
100 MHz channels pack twice the capacity of standard 50 MHz channels into the same link, enabling higher data rates and lower latency for high-capacity point-to-point carrier deployments.
Can the AF-5XHD adjust channel bandwidth dynamically based on link conditions?
Channel bandwidth selection is typically configured at deployment time based on your RF environment and capacity requirements; contact Procure.ae for details on any dynamic adaptation features.
Is the AF-5XHD compatible with standard AirFiber X or RocketDish antennas?
Yes, the AF-5XHD pairs with compatible AirFiber X and RocketDish antennas designed for 5 GHz carriers. Always verify antenna compatibility with Procure.ae before ordering.
What does IP67 rating mean for an outdoor backhaul radio?
IP67 means the radio is dust-proof and water-resistant to 1 meter depth, protecting electronics from heavy rain, spray, and airborne dust typical in outdoor tower and rooftop installations.
Why would a carrier choose the AF-5XHD over earlier AirFiber models?
The AF-5XHD offers LTU (Long-Term Unit) architecture, 100 MHz channel flexibility, and IP67 protection, representing an upgrade path for carriers looking to expand or refresh backhaul capacity.
How does the included IP67 upgrade kit improve radio durability?
The IP67 kit provides additional sealing and weatherproofing for connectors and enclosure, enhancing water and dust ingress protection for mission-critical outdoor deployments.
