What customers say
Users highly value the Ubiquiti airFiber 11 for its exceptional, stable, gigabit plus throughput over long distances. The core advantage is its use of the licensed 11 GHz spectrum, which ensures superior link stability and minimal interference, making it ideal for mission critical backhaul. The hardware quality is consistently praised for its robust, carrier grade construction. While the performance is industry leading, deployment demands significant technical expertise and careful antenna alignment. Furthermore, the total cost, including licensing and hardware, represents a substantial investment. For professionals prioritizing guaranteed stability in congested areas, this device is considered a worthwhile benchmark investment.
Know before you buy
The airFiber 11 operates in the licensed 11 GHz band, which allows you to bypass the interference and congestion commonly found in the unlicensed 5 GHz spectrum. This makes it a much more reliable choice for high-performance carrier backhaul and enterprise-grade links.
The included package features a low-band duplexer configured for SISO (Single-Input Single-Output) operation. To achieve full MIMO performance, you would need to acquire an additional duplexer and antenna configuration.
Yes, the device supports PoE, but it also offers the flexibility of a DC power input. This dual-power capability is particularly useful for outdoor installations where power infrastructure might vary.
No, this device is specifically engineered for outdoor deployment. It is designed to handle the environmental demands of long-range, point-to-point wireless backhaul.
The airFiber 11 is capable of delivering throughput exceeding 1.2 Gbps. Actual performance will depend on your specific link distance, environmental conditions, and the configuration of your licensed frequency channels.
The AF11-COMPLETE-LB model includes the radio and the low-band duplexer for SISO operation. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with the AF-11G35 antenna, which is typically sold separately.
