Innovative Proprietary Modem Technology
Ubiquiti’s innovative proprietary modem technology was purpose-built to
address the specic challenges of outdoor, PtP (Point-to-Point) bridging and
high-performance network backhauls. Every aspect of the radio has been carefully
simulated and designed to optimize range, speed, and latency performance in the
harshest RF noise environments.
Synchronous Data Transmission and Reception
Conventional wireless standards impose a latency by having to receive a packet
before a packet is transmitted. airFiber can transmit data synchronously without
any wait time. airFiber features traditional TDD and FDD modes of operation
in addition to the proprietary Hybrid Division Duplexing (HDD) mode, which
provides a breakthrough in range and spectral efciency performance.
Based on the ranging algorithm built into the air protocol, the airFiber radios
use patent-pending HDD technology to calculate the propagation delay and
know when each radio can transmit and receive, so they send packets in precise
synchronization. Packet transmission latency is virtually eliminated.

Innovative Dual-Antenna Architecture
airFiber features a dual-independent, 2x2 MIMO, high-gain reector antenna
system. Separate yet integrated transmit (TX) and receive (RX) antennas help
extend link budgets by eliminating the extra RF losses caused by the switches or
duplexers required in systems with common TX/RX antennas.
Network Management
airFiber supports a variety of features to help you manage your network:
• Network management options A choice between the greater security of
out-of-band management and the convenience of in-band management.
• SNMP support Full SNMP support to aid in network management.
• Local and remote airFiber status information Available on the Main tab of
the airFiber Conguration Interface.
