Network bridge Ubiquiti UISP airFiber 60 XR 5 GHz Wi-Fi 802.11ac

The Ubiquiti UISP airFiber 60 XR is a multi-gigabit, 60 GHz network bridge engineered to form long-distance wireless links and deliver up to 5.4 Gbps total throughput (2.7 Gbps full duplex). It includes an integrated 5 GHz backup radio for redundancy and a Bluetooth radio to simplify initial setup with the UISP® Mobile app. The device supports link planning via the ISP Design Center and features an integrated GPS and a single 10G SFP+ port for high-capacity fiber or direct SFP+ connections.

Advantages

The airFiber 60 XR provides very high aggregate throughput over millimetre-wave 60 GHz links while keeping a 5 GHz backup channel for improved link availability. Its 10G SFP+ interface enables integration into high-speed networks, and onboard GPS assists in alignment and network planning. Bluetooth support reduces time spent on onsite configuration when using the UISP Mobile app.

Suitable for

• Long-distance point-to-point wireless backhaul (up to 15+ km in optimal conditions)
• High-capacity links for ISPs and enterprise campus backhaul
• Redundant wireless links where 5 GHz backup is required
• Sites requiring GPS-based alignment and link planning

Key specifications

• Radio frequency: 60 GHz primary, 5 GHz backup
• Maximum aggregate throughput: 5.4 Gbps (2.7 Gbps duplex)
• Link range: 15+ km (dependent on conditions)
• Ports: 1 × 10G SFP+
• Integrated modules: GPS, Bluetooth
• Product colour: White
• Weight: 8.6 kg

How to use

Mount the airFiber 60 XR on proper poles or towers with clear line of sight to the peer unit. Use GPS and link planning tools in the ISP Design Center to determine alignment and expected performance. Connect the 10G SFP+ port to your network switch or fiber transceiver for backhaul. Configure the device and perform initial setup via the UISP Mobile app using Bluetooth, then fine-tune radio parameters and enable the 5 GHz backup radio for redundancy.

Recommendations

For best performance, ensure unobstructed line of sight and follow ISP Design Center link planning recommendations. Use suitable SFP+ modules and secure physical mounting to withstand environmental conditions. Enable and test the 5 GHz backup path to provide continuous service during adverse 60 GHz conditions.
