Ubiquiti airFiber AF-3X 3 GHz Backhaul Radio - Complete Link
The Ubiquiti AF-3X forms part of the airFiber X of point-to-point backhaul family of radios. It operates on the 3GHz frequency, offering interference-free operation. A license is required and must be licensed with the FCC to operate this radio. Utilizing INVICTUS, this radio features a processing engine that surpasses all the limitations inherent to generic Wi-Fi chips. This helps to provide superior performance, long range capability, DFS flexibility, and higher delivered throughput.
The Ubiquiti airFiber AF-3X is a 3 GHz Backhaul Radio. The 3 GHz frequency band offersinterference-free operation,enabling the AF-3X to provide ahigh-reliability backhaul solution,although a license may berequired in some regions.

The Ubiquiti airFiber AF-3X features 2x2 MIMO connectorised OFDM airFiber radio in small, lightweight form factor; 3300MHz-3900MHz frequency range, with channel widths at 3.5MHz, 5MHz, 7MHz, 10MHz, 14MHz, 20MHz, 28MHz, 30MHz, 40MHz, 50MHz, 56MHz.
Engineered for Performance
Ubiquiti’s INVICTUS™ custom silicon and proprietary radio architecture are designed specifically for long-distance, outdoor wireless applications.
Deployment Flexibility
The compact form factor allows the airFiber X to be used with airFiber Slant 45 antennas, or instantly upgrade a 5 GHz Rocket™link that uses a RocketDish™RD‑5G30/RD‑5G34* antenna.
Carrier Backhaul for the World
Deploy the 2.4, 3, 4, 5 or 11 GHz model that meets your specific spectrum requirements, anywhere around the world. The airFiber X features multiple channel width options to suit your deployment needs – up to 11 different channel sizes available for the AF-2X or AF-3X.
Optimal Operation and Channel Configuration
Channel width flexibility allows you to independently configure TX and RX channel frequencies and place them anywhere within the radio band to avoid local interference. You also have the ability to program different uplink and downlink duty cycles to support asymmetric traffic requirements.
