Ubiquiti airFiber X 5GHz 34dBi Slant 45 Antenna (AF-5G34-S45) — High-Gain Carrier Backhaul Dish for airFiber X

The Ubiquiti AF-5G34-S45 is a 5GHz, 34dBi slant-45 dish antenna purpose-built for Ubiquiti’s airFiber X carrier backhaul radios. Unlike an all-in-one CPE such as a LiteBeam or PowerBeam, the AF-5G34-S45 is a standalone high-performance antenna that pairs with a separately sold airFiber X radio to form the endpoint of a long-range, point-to-point (PtP) bridge or network backhaul link. Its large 1050mm (41.34″) dish delivers the gain needed for the most demanding carrier-grade backhaul deployments, where maximum range, throughput, and interference resistance matter most.

For buyers in Pakistan looking to build high-capacity WISP backhaul links, connect a neighborhood tower back to a core network, or establish a reliable long-distance PtP bridge between two sites, the Ubiquiti AF-5G34-S45 antenna paired with an airFiber X radio is one of the most capable combinations available in Ubiquiti AF-5G34-S45 carrier-class wireless portfolio.

High-Gain, Dual-Polarity Antenna Design

The Ubiquiti AF-5G34-S45 delivers 34dBi of gain with a dish reflector design engineered for excellent beam directivity, making it one of the higher-gain antennas in the airFiber X antenna family. It uses ±45° slant polarization along with 2×2 dual-polarity performance, which improves noise immunity and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) — a critical advantage in areas with dense RF activity or multiple competing wireless links nearby.

Operating across the 5.1–5.8 GHz frequency range, the AF-5G34-S45 features a tight ±45° beamwidth of just 3° (3dB) in each plane, along with a strong 42dB front-to-back ratio and a minimum cross-polarization isolation of 35dB. This combination of narrow beamwidth and high isolation allows the antenna to concentrate RF energy precisely toward its target endpoint while rejecting interference from surrounding signals — essential for carrier backhaul links operating in congested spectrum environments.

Built for airFiber X Radios

The compact form factor of the Ubiquiti AF-5G34-S45 is designed to integrate seamlessly with the radio mount of Ubiquiti’s airFiber X radios, meaning no special tools or adapters are required during installation. Once paired with an airFiber X radio (sold separately), the AF-5G34-S45 becomes the endpoint of a high-performance PtP bridge or network backhaul, commonly used to deliver bandwidth from a core WISP network out to a neighborhood tower, from which an airMAX Sector antenna with a Rocket radio can then distribute bandwidth further out to individual subscribers.

Rugged Construction for Demanding Outdoor Deployments

Built with industrial-strength hardware, the Ubiquiti AF-5G34-S45 weighs 13.5 kg (29.76 lb) including its mount and measures 1050 x 421mm in size — a substantial dish reflector designed for serious carrier backhaul applications rather than lightweight consumer deployments. The antenna is rated for wind survivability of up to 200 km/h (125 mph), with a wind loading of 1,779 N (400 lbf) at that speed, reflecting the robust mechanical engineering needed to keep a large, high-gain dish stable in severe outdoor conditions.

A weatherproof shroud protects cables and connectors from rain, dust, and sun exposure, while the included universal pole mount, airFiber radio bracket, and weatherproof RF jumpers simplify installation on towers, poles, or rooftop mounts. The AF-5G34-S45 also meets ETSI specification EN 302 326 DN2, a relevant compliance standard for carrier-grade wireless backhaul equipment in regulated markets.

Common Use Cases for the AF-5G34-S45

Given its high gain, narrow beamwidth, and carrier-class construction, the Ubiquiti AF-5G34-S45 is best suited to serious backhaul and infrastructure-level deployments rather than standard subscriber CPE links. WISPs commonly use it to connect core network locations to distribution towers over long distances, to establish dedicated point-to-point bridges between two buildings or sites, or as part of a larger network architecture where an airFiber X backhaul feeds bandwidth to downstream airMAX sector or PtMP access points serving end customers.

Why Choose the AF-5G34-S45

The Ubiquiti AF-5G34-S45 combines high 34dBi gain, tight beamwidth, strong noise isolation, and rugged industrial-grade construction into a purpose-built antenna for airFiber X carrier backhaul radios. For WISPs, network integrators, and businesses in Pakistan building serious point-to-point backhaul infrastructure that demands maximum range and interference resistance, the AF-5G34-S45 stands out as one of the strongest antenna options in Ubiquiti’s airFiber X lineup — provided it’s paired with a compatible airFiber X radio to complete the link.
