We have an AF5x link that's just under 16 miles using 2' dishes, using a 20mhz channel it will pretty consistently do about 130Mbps aggregate, but it's not quite good enough to do 256qam... it could probably do a bit better with 3' dishes. Don't judge the airFibers based on experience with other U

The RF section is way better that the Rocket. But if you come from the PTP600/650 world, you have been spoiled. We have a couple of af5x links, work well. One of the downfalls from it is the inability for the slave to scan all channels for the master, you cant only configure 3 channels for scan.

The AirFiber line is completely different than the WiFi-based M series. You will not be disappointed with any AirFiber units and many of their engineers came from Motorola. It is absolutely a bargain compared to PTP600 or 650 from Cambium and will provide similar performance. Some things you lose i

Hi All, I am wondering if anyone can tell me what you are seeing with the Airfiber 5x product from Ubiquiti on a 20Mhz channel in terms of speed. We have invested a lot of money into 650's from Cambium and licenced SAF. We have been using the MT QRT product as a cost conscience backhaul as wel
