Ubiquiti airFiber 60GHz XG

Ubiquiti airFiber 60GHz XG Multi-Gigabit Wireless Bridge

Fiber-class speed, no trenching required

The Ubiquiti airFiber 60GHz XG is a point-to-point (PtP) wireless bridge engineered to move serious data between two locations up to 6 Gbps of throughput across links reaching as far as 4 km. It pairs a high-speed 60GHz radio with a 5GHz backup radio, 10G SFP+ and Gigabit Ethernet ports, and GPS and Bluetooth for smart setup and synchronisation. The result is a fiber-like connection you can stand up in hours, without the cost or disruption of laying cable.

Built for enterprise, ISP, smart-city, and industrial networks, it turns two rooftops into a high-capacity backhaul link bridging buildings, extending broadband, or connecting sites where running fiber simply isn’t practical.

Multi-gigabit throughput on a clean band

Operating in the 60GHz mmWave spectrum, the airFiber 60GHz XG delivers up to 6 Gbps with the low latency demanding applications need. Because the 60GHz band is far less congested than 2.4/5GHz, links stay clean and interference-resistant well suited to video streaming, cloud workloads, and time-sensitive enterprise traffic.

Long-range, precisely aimed links

The bridge holds a stable, directional connection over distances up to 4 km. A beamforming antenna focuses the signal tightly between the two endpoints for maximum precision and link quality, and the included precision alignment mount makes dialling in that aim straightforward during install.

Built-in 5GHz failover

Weather is the natural enemy of 60GHz, so the XG carries an integrated 5GHz radio as a safety net. If the primary link degrades from interference or heavy rain, the connection falls back automatically to an 800+ Mbps 5GHz path keeping the link alive when conditions turn, then switching back when the 60GHz signal recovers.

Flexible, high-speed interfaces

Connect it your way:

• 1× 10G SFP+ port — high-speed optical connectivity for fiber transceivers
• 1× Gigabit Ethernet port — standard copper LAN connections

Supporting both fiber and copper, the XG drops into almost any network topology without extra adapters.

Smart setup with GPS and Bluetooth

Built-in GPS provides accurate timing and synchronisation valuable when you’re running multiple links in the same area. Bluetooth pairing with Ubiquiti’s mobile app streamlines provisioning, and a web interface is available for deeper configuration.

Terragraph-ready for dense deployments

The airFiber 60GHz XG is certified under Terragraph, the initiative for delivering affordable gigabit wireless across urban areas using the 60GHz spectrum. That makes it a strong fit for dense city rollouts, smart infrastructure, and fiber-alternative networks where trenching is impractical.

Best use cases

• Enterprise networks — low-latency, high-bandwidth links between buildings
• ISPs — deliver gigabit broadband wirelessly and cut fiber build-out costs
• Smart cities — backhaul for IoT, public WiFi, and digital services
• Data centres — high-throughput links between nodes
• Surveillance & security — reliable backhaul for HD CCTV and remote sites
• Industrial IoT — fast, low-latency links between distributed machines and sensors

Technical overview

FAQs

How far can the airFiber 60GHz XG reach?

It supports point-to-point links of up to 4 km, making it suited to building-to-building, urban, and industrial bridging.

What throughput can it deliver?

Up to 6 Gbps over the 60GHz radio, with low latency and minimal interference on the clean mmWave band.

What happens in bad weather?

The integrated 5GHz radio provides an 800+ Mbps failover link, automatically taking over if the 60GHz signal is disrupted by rain or interference.

Which ports does it have?

One 10G SFP+ port for fiber and one Gigabit Ethernet port for standard copper LAN connections.

Can I manage it through UniFi?

It isn’t managed through the UniFi Network Controller. Setup is handled via Bluetooth and the mobile app, with a web interface for detailed configuration.
