Know before you buy
The airFiber 60 LR is engineered for long-range connectivity, supporting stable links up to 12 kilometers (approximately 7.5 miles) under optimal conditions.
Yes, because it operates in the 60 GHz frequency band, a completely unobstructed line of sight is required for the signal to maintain its high-speed performance.
You can manage the device via the local Web UI or the UISP app, which connects via built-in Bluetooth for easy configuration. The integrated GPS also assists in ensuring precise alignment for maximum throughput.
The unit is powered via Passive PoE (Power over Ethernet). You will need a compatible PoE injector or switch to provide power through the Ethernet cable.
Absolutely. By utilizing the uncongested 60 GHz spectrum, it avoids the interference common in 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz bands, allowing it to deliver true duplex Gigabit speeds up to 1.8 Gbps.
No, the airFiber 60 LR is designed exclusively for outdoor installation. Its high-gain dish antenna is optimized for long-distance exterior wireless bridging.
