Jamiro Broadcast recently upgraded Choice Radio KE FM contribution link from rocket M5 to Air Fiber-5XHD. A lot of questions were asked why the change, here is why the product is outstanding. The Air Fiber‑5XHD is designed for use in the 5 GHz frequency band and features the newest radio technology, offering greater channel bandwidths (up to 100 MHz) and more advanced RF components.
Its custom LTU silicon and radio architecture provide a breakthrough performance and its core communications processing engine surpasses the limitations inherent to generic Wi-Fi chips to provide low latency, long‑range capability, DFS flexibility, higher constellations, and better power output, along with improved receive sensitivity. The AF-5XHD features 21.2 bps/Hz spectral efficiency, line‑rate data packet processing for up to 1.34 Gb/s of real data throughput, and innovative Xtreme Range Technology (XRT).
The AF-5XHD is also compatible with a number of existing Ubiquiti antennas from the 5 GHz band, including air Fiber X antennas and certain Rocket Dish antennas. Pair the AF-5XHD with a compatible Ubiquiti antenna for a complete 5 GHz Point-to-Point solution.
