Ubiquiti airFiber AF-5XHD Gigabit Point-to-Point Outdoor Radio
Connect Two Distant Network Locations Without Laying Fiber
Running a fiber cable between two distant buildings or network towers is not always practical. For internet service providers, wireless infrastructure operators and businesses, a high-capacity point-to-point radio link can provide an alternative.
The Ubiquiti airFiber AF-5XHD is a professional outdoor wireless radio built for long-distance Point-to-Point (PtP) networking. Powered by Ubiquiti's LTU technology, it offers more than 1Gbps maximum wireless throughput, selectable channel bandwidths up to 100MHz and GPS synchronization support.
Whether you are planning an ISP backhaul link, connecting two office buildings or expanding a WISP network, the airFiber 5XHD provides the radio platform for a properly engineered wireless connection.
LTU Technology for High-Capacity Wireless Backhaul
The Ubiquiti AF-5XHD uses LTU wireless technology developed for high-performance outdoor networking rather than ordinary home WiFi access.
It supports selectable channel widths of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80 and 100MHz, allowing network engineers to choose suitable configurations based on available spectrum, interference and throughput requirements.
Ubiquiti specifies a maximum throughput of over 1Gbps. This makes the airFiber AF-5XHD Gigabit Outdoor Radio suitable for applications where large amounts of network traffic must be transported between two locations.
The manufacturer's maximum range specification exceeds 100km, but such distances require appropriate antennas, clear line of sight, suitable Fresnel-zone clearance and detailed link-budget planning.
Maximum range and throughput are engineering specifications, not guaranteed results for every installation.
Choose the Right Antenna for Your PtP Link
One important difference between this Ubiquiti Outdoor Radio and a complete wireless bridge kit is that the AF-5XHD is a separate radio unit.
For operation, it must be paired with a compatible external directional antenna, such as a supported airFiber X or RocketDish antenna.
Antenna gain, dish size, mounting height and alignment directly influence achievable distance and signal quality. For a short building-to-building link, the antenna requirements may differ significantly from those of a long-distance tower connection.
A complete Point-to-Point wireless link also normally requires compatible radio equipment at both ends.
If you are comparing Wireless Bridge prices in Bangladesh, remember to account for antennas, mounting hardware, cables, surge protection and installation costs—not just the radio price.
GPS Synchronization and Secure Data Transmission
Outdoor wireless networks often operate near multiple radio links, especially at ISP towers and shared transmission sites.
The AF-5XHD includes support for an external GPS antenna with a magnetic base. GPS synchronization helps network operators coordinate compatible links and improve frequency reuse in appropriately designed deployments.
Its RF system supports selectable uplink and downlink duty cycles, allowing additional flexibility when optimizing traffic direction.
The radio also provides AES-256 encryption for protecting supported point-to-point wireless communication.
With these capabilities, the Ubiquiti 5GHz PtP Radio is designed for professional network infrastructure rather than serving smartphones or laptops directly as a conventional WiFi access point.
Two Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces and Passive PoE Power
The Ubiquiti airFiber 5XHD includes two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for data and management connectivity.
It supports Passive Power over Ethernet and comes with a 24V, 1A Gigabit PoE adapter according to the official package specification.
Maximum device power consumption is 12W, and the supported input voltage range is 18–54V DC.
Installers should use a compatible Passive PoE power source and follow Ubiquiti's specified wiring and grounding guidelines. A standard PoE switch should not automatically be assumed compatible without checking its supported power-output method.
The radio measures 224 × 82 × 48mm and supports airFiber X mounting hardware, including compatible Rocket mounting arrangements.
An IP67 upgrade kit is included for enhanced weather protection when installed correctly. Its specified operating temperature range is -40°C to 55°C, making it suitable for demanding outdoor environments within the manufacturer's installation limits.
Where AF-5XHD Makes Sense in Bangladesh
The Ubiquiti AF-5XHD Point-to-Point Radio is particularly relevant for ISPs and WISPs carrying network traffic between towers, businesses connecting separate premises and organizations requiring dedicated building-to-building wireless backhaul.
A professional installer can use a pair of compatible airFiber radios with properly selected antennas to create a dedicated wireless link between two sites.
The radio supports software-based configuration and remote monitoring, including compatible UISP network-management workflows.
Before deployment, confirm the permitted operating frequencies, transmit-power limits and any relevant BTRC authorization requirements in Bangladesh. The supported worldwide radio frequency range of 4.8–6.2GHz does not mean every part of that range is legally available at every installation location.
The AF-5XHD is intended for PtP backhaul, not multipoint home WiFi distribution. It is also not a standalone internet router or a complete antenna-equipped wireless bridge.
