What customers say
Professionals regard the airFiber AF24HD as a carrier-class solution delivering exceptional throughput, often exceeding 1.5 Gbps with low latency, making it excellent for critical backhaul. Its use of the 24 GHz band provides a cleaner spectrum for stable links. However, achieving peak performance requires meticulous, time-consuming alignment due to the narrow beamwidth, demanding significant expertise. A major concern is the 24 GHz frequency's susceptibility to rain fade, limiting reliable range in heavy precipitation. Despite the high cost and demanding installation, experienced operators needing guaranteed gigabit speeds over short distances consider this an indispensable, top-tier networking tool.
