Long Term Ubiquiti - airFiber 5XHD LTU - performance test

[Lukas]

As you probably know, in 2018 Ubiquiti Networks presented with great impetus the latest work based on the pioneering LTU protocol.

airFiber5XHD - because this is the name of this new product - is the successor to the very popular device called airFiber 5X, but in comparison to its predecessor, it has much greater possibilities:

• 1024QAM modulation in the whole 5GHz band (up to 4096QAM in subsequent software versions)
• extended frequency range from 4800MHz to 6200MHz for licensed applications
• Bluetooth for easier configuration from smartphones
• Performance up to 1+Gbps and computing power up to 2,000,000 packets per second
• added channel widths: 60/80 and 100MHz
• Active Live airView without breaking the radio link
• double PoE IN port

Of course we checked the device how it works in the field

We have set up a link on 1.5 km on 5500 channel at 50MHz width with -59dBm signal.

We tested the link using the built-in Speedtest tool from Ubiquiti as well as Mikrotik Btest, both in TCP and UDP protocols.

Here are some examples of our results:
