The Ubiquiti AF-24 is a carrier-class, full-duplex point-to-point wireless backhaul radio operating in the license-free 24 GHz band, part of Ubiquiti's airFiber series. It delivers up to 1.4+ Gbps of aggregate throughput over links of 13+ km, using a proprietary monocoque design with two complete, integrated antenna systems that eliminate RF losses common in traditional switch/filter-based millimeter-wave systems. Designed for carrier-class wireless backhaul applications, it supports both half-duplex and full-duplex operation, GPS-based synchronization, and full SNMP network management, making it suitable for high-capacity point-to-point links between towers, buildings, or network sites where fiber is impractical.
