60 GHz Point-to-Point Radio with Integrated High-Gain Dish, True Duplex Gigabit Performance, and 12+ km Range
The Ubiquiti airFiber 60 LR (AF60-LR) is a 60 GHz point-to-point radio with an integrated high-gain dish antenna, delivering true duplex gigabit throughput over distances exceeding 12 km. Operating in the license-free 60 GHz V-band (57-71 GHz), the AF60 LR provides fiber-like backhaul capacity without spectrum licensing fees, fiber construction costs, or the congestion found in the 5 GHz band.
The AF60 LR is the long-range model in Ubiquiti's 60 GHz airFiber portfolio, built for WISP backbone links and enterprise campus connections where 5 GHz is too congested and fiber is not available. Ubiquiti's Wave Technology enables the extended range performance that separates this radio from shorter-range 60 GHz alternatives. A 5 GHz backup radio provides automatic failover during rain fade events that can temporarily attenuate 60 GHz signals.
Where the airFiber 60 LR Fits
- WISP backbone and tower links where operators need gigabit backhaul capacity without 5 GHz congestion and the 60 GHz band provides clean, interference-free spectrum for dedicated point-to-point connections
- Enterprise and campus interconnects replacing leased fiber or microwave links between buildings up to 12 km apart with a single radio pair that delivers gigabit throughput at a one-time hardware cost
- Last-mile fiber replacement where construction permits, terrain, or cost make fiber impractical and the AF60 LR provides equivalent bandwidth over the air with rapid deployment
What the airFiber 60 LR Delivers
- True duplex gigabit throughput: Full-duplex operation in the 60 GHz band delivers simultaneous upload and download at gigabit speeds. No contention, no half-duplex trade-offs.
- 12+ km range with integrated dish: High-gain integrated dish antenna provides the link budget needed for reliable connections beyond 12 km. Wave Technology extends usable range beyond typical 60 GHz limitations.
- License-free 60 GHz spectrum: Operates in the V-band (57-71 GHz) without spectrum licensing. Zero recurring fees, zero coordination with other operators, and virtually no interference from other devices.
- 5 GHz backup radio: Integrated 5 GHz failover radio maintains connectivity during rain fade events that can temporarily attenuate 60 GHz signals. Automatic switchover keeps the link alive in severe weather.
- Compact all-in-one design: Radio, antenna, and alignment tools integrated into a single outdoor-rated enclosure. Pole mount hardware included for rapid tower or rooftop deployment.
What Is the Range of the airFiber 60 LR?
The airFiber 60 LR achieves reliable point-to-point links at distances exceeding 12 km using its integrated high-gain dish antenna and Ubiquiti's Wave Technology. Actual range depends on atmospheric conditions, alignment precision, and local terrain. At 60 GHz, rain attenuation is the primary range-limiting factor, which is why the AF60 LR includes a 5 GHz backup radio that automatically activates during heavy precipitation to maintain connectivity. In clear conditions, the radio delivers consistent gigabit throughput at its rated distance.
