Overview

Pair an airFiber® X antenna with an
airFiber X radio to create the endpoint
of a high-performance, Point-to-Point
(PtP) bridge or network backhaul

Datasheet

(airFiber X radio sold separately).

The airFiber X antenna uses the 5 GHz
frequency band and is available for
the following frequency bands:

• 2.4 GHz

dual-polarity performance. On the
right is one example of how the
airFiber X antenna with an airFiber X
radio can be deployed as endpoints in
a backhaul link to deliver bandwidth
from a WISP network out to a
neighborhood tower. From there,
an airMAX® Sector antenna with a
Rocket® radio delivers bandwidth to
the WISP’s customers.

Carrier-Class Construction

Corporate Building Residence Internet Cafe Outdoor HotspotSmall Business

Incorporating a dish reector design

for excellent beam directivity,
the airFiber X antennas feature
robust mechanical design using
industrial-strength hardware for
outdoor application use.

Plug and Play Integration

airFiber X antennas and airFiberX

radios have been designed to
seamlessly work together. Every
airFiber X antenna has a built-in
airFiber X radio mount, so installation
requires no special tools.

Snap the airFiber X radio securely into
place and mount the antenna; you
then have the optimal combination of
airFiber X antenna and airFiber X radio
for your PtP application.

Avanced RF Isolation Design

Model: AF-5G23-S45

The innovative industrial design improves RF isolation to signicantly reduce interference and deliver superior gain for

high-capacity, multipoint networks.

The near-eld plot of the AF-5G23-S45 is displayed in watts and uses a linear scale. The strength of the electromagnetic eld is

color-coded:

• Red: Highest strength

• Green: Medium strength

• Indigo: Lowest strength

Deployment Flexibility

The airFiber X supports ± 45° slant polarization for improved noise immunity and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). The compact

form factor of the airFiber X allows it to t into the radio mount of Ubiquiti antennas, so installation requires no special tools.

The airFiber X antennas are purpose-built with 45° slant polarity for seamless integration with the airFiber X.

Datasheet

Model: ISO-BEAM-620

The IsoBeam™ is an isolator radome that is available as an optional accessory for
the AF-5G30-S45 and other dish antenna models:

• RocketDish® RD-5G30-LW

• PowerBeam

• PowerBeam PBE-M5-620

The innovative RF-choke perimeter of the IsoBeam delivers superior noise
immunity in co-location deployments; its perimeter corrugation provides

enhanced RF shielding. Compare the two near-eld plots below, and note the

breakthrough isolation performance of the IsoBeam.

Both near-eld plots are displayed in watts and use a linear scale. The strength of
the electromagnetic eld is color-coded:
