Ubiquiti airFiber 5G23-S45 Antenna (AF-5G23-S45)

The Ubiquiti airFiber 5G23-S45 (AF-5G23-S45) is a high-gain directional antenna engineered specifically for use with Ubiquiti’s airFiber 5X and 5XHD radios. Designed for outdoor point-to-point (PtP) wireless links, this antenna delivers superior performance, excellent gain, and robust signal isolation, enabling long-range data transmission with outstanding reliability and minimal interference. It’s ideal for Internet Service Providers (ISPs), enterprises, and network operators that demand maximum throughput and stability in their wireless infrastructure.

Operating in the 5 GHz band, the AF-5G23-S45 provides 23 dBi of gain, ensuring high signal strength over long distances. This makes it especially well-suited for backhaul links between towers, buildings, or network nodes. The antenna's 45-degree slant-polarized design offers improved noise immunity in RF-congested environments, effectively reducing signal overlap and crosstalk. This polarization scheme helps maximize throughput in areas with many co-located wireless systems operating in the same frequency range.

The AF-5G23-S45 features a parabolic reflector design, which concentrates the signal into a tight beam. This beam focus minimizes dispersion and strengthens the point-to-point signal path, resulting in greater distance capabilities and improved link stability. The high front-to-back ratio enhances signal clarity and reduces noise from behind the antenna, making it ideal for installations in dense wireless deployments where frequency reuse is important.

Durability is another core strength of this antenna. It is built to withstand challenging environmental conditions including wind, rain, and extreme temperatures. The mount and reflector are made of rugged, weather-resistant materials that ensure long-term stability and performance. The included mounting kit supports secure pole mounting and allows for easy tilt and alignment adjustments during installation, which is essential for establishing a precise and optimized wireless link.

One of the key benefits of the AF-5G23-S45 is its plug-and-play compatibility with Ubiquiti airFiber 5X and 5XHD radios. The antenna includes dedicated mounting hardware for easy radio integration, and the RF connectors are positioned to simplify the physical connection. Together with Ubiquiti's airOS and UISP platforms, network administrators can easily configure, manage, and monitor the entire link performance from a centralized dashboard.

In conclusion, the Ubiquiti airFiber 5G23-S45 Antenna (AF-5G23-S45) is a powerful, precise, and dependable antenna choice for long-distance 5 GHz wireless point-to-point applications. With its high gain, slant polarization, and rugged construction, it enables high-throughput data transmission even in interference-heavy environments. For network professionals seeking a solid and efficient backhaul antenna for their airFiber radios, the AF-5G23-S45 delivers a proven, high-performance solution.
