Ubiquiti airFiber 8x8 MIMO Multiplexer for AF-4X/ AF-5X Radios

airFiber NxN Overview

Scalable airFiber® MIMO Multiplexer

Introducing the airFiber NxN, a thoughtfully engineered MIMO multiplexer that increases the amazing throughput of your airFiber link by up to 400%, while simultaneously establishing redundancy without the need of additional antennas. The airFiber NxN is a scalable MIMO multiplexer that combines multiple airFiber X radios* on a single dish antenna for superior noise immunity performance, redundancy, and multi-Gigabit Point-to-Point (PtP) throughput. Upgrading a 5 GHz airMAX® or airFiber link is fast and easy. Simply attach the airFiber NxN to the fast-mount on the antenna and connect the RF cables.

Precise GPS Synchronization

Using a common GPS timing reference, the airFiber X radios work cohesively to deliver powerful, multi-Gigabit bridging performance for PtP links.

Quickly mount multiple airFiber X radios on existing airFiber dish antennas for Plug and Play installation. You can use radio channels of different sizes – even adjacent channels with no guard band – and place them anywhere within the radio band.

Mounting Versatility

The airFiber NxN Multiplexer can be attached to most 5 GHz airFiber X or RocketDish™ antenna models. For any other antenna configuration, you can mount the airFiber NxN Multiplexer on a pole.

Reduced Tower Costs

Multiple airFiber X radios mounted on a single dish antenna maximizes throughput and capacity in a clean, compact tower footprint, minimizing tower costs. For instance, the AF-8x8 consolidates four airFiber X dish antennas into one dish, or replaces up to 8+ non-airFiber links

 

True Redundancy

Multiple airFiber X radios with multiple carriers on multiple frequency bands provide the ultimate noise immunity and link redundancy performance. 

 

Paired with the EdgePoint for Superior Performance

The EdgePoint provides link aggregation and powerful configuration features, including radio-link load balancing and advanced reliability for optical fiber deployments. The tower-mounted EdgePoint also simplifies the deployment by providing power to the airFiber X radios, so there is no need for individual PoE adapters and additional cabling.
