Product Overview
The Ubiquiti airFiber NxN AF‑MPx8 multiplexer allows operators to cluster up to four airFiber 5X radios on one dish antenna, synchronized via GPS timing. This 8×8 MIMO deployment boosts aggregate throughput to over 2 Gbps, provides redundancy across up to three simultaneous radio links, and reduces tower clutter by consolidating radios on a single mount.
