Long Range 60GHz airFiber 60 LR Setup and Testing 

super clear and comprehensive. Thank you very much for all the tests and details

I love the timing on this. I just installed a set of the GBE-LRs for a 2km link. For the most part, they are identical, except the GBE-LR's lack the distance capabilities of the 60LR. The precision alignment mounts are awesome, as well as their surge protectors. I'm excited to see these getting a little love on the channel.

Holy shot crosstalk!! You never ciese to amaze me. WOW 😲

The content is yet again, superb. The Linux Shirt? Priceless..

2:01 sniper (and-in) me would completely agree w/ you, the great precision (among others skills) is needed to dial-in (honing) a target 😎 dish 😎

Thank you for this video

The Station without the dish looks a bit like a Showerhead doesn't it?

Love the fiber optics desk mat, Chris. Thanks for the content!

Just set up a 53km PTP straight over Phoenix using AC5 gen 2. It won't win any speed tests, but it's working for what we need it.

Extremely useful video

Hey Chris, Just got a 10km link up and its amazing! real game changer. 62-63db signal and pushing 1.7Gbps in both directions. Just gonna have to wait and see how it does during the rain. I usually have no issues with PtP links, but this took at least 3hrs for me to get both sides aligned by myself. Can't wait to get ahold of the Ptmp they just released in EA

I set up two airMAX GigaBeam Long-Range 60 GHz Radio today and ran a simulation on the Ubiquiti tool. I have to pray that my line of sight looking at trees from the ground is skewed and that the planning tool has it right. I did a 19m test in my yard, and it worked perfectly as expected/

Very good dish

Nice video

Excellent content. About the 5ghz redundancy --- what magnitude of weather will break or slow the 60ghz over, let's say four miles? Would a light rain effect that? What about a torrential downpour? I would like to avoid the costs of course for redundancy if the 60ghz will handle light rain. And it doesn't have to maintain super high speed, just reliable decent throughput during mild rains over four miles.

Would like to see a video on the AF60's with a 5Ghz fail-over setup.

Any chance you can review the AirMax Gigabeam LR? There is no videos on that product. You’ve done the building PTP. Talk about the differences between the Airfiber version. Thanks

@crosstalk solutions: Is Unify IPv6 support just "that bad" that you do not mention it in videos as e.g. mgmt addresses. Or are clients "just" not requesting support/set-up contracts with v6 (instead of v4)?

Very nice. I am new to this and have a quick question. How many stations can you have connected to 1 AP? In other words, how many customers can you have connected to 1 AP?

Yes of course you should try and break the range record if you have the means to do so. Something you never specifically mentioned, what would you say is the minimum distance that this is the best product for?

Hey, great job you are doing over there. I have a question. I am setting up a small WISP solution and I already use PBE-5ac-gen2 which am about to finish the installation. However, I want to be able to deliver large packets of data to the location where i am placing my BTS . Where I have 1 PBE-5ac and 3 LAP 120 for distribution. I like to know if I can use AF-60-LR for the main link from my Main core router to the BTS. Can this device be used for a 15km PtP Solution? If Yes Good but if NO. Please share your recommendation of another UBNT device that can do 15km with 1GB Torughput. I need it for the link backhaul. Thank you

No, that thing is from your shower, or did you swipe your neighbors shower head? LOL! and that bowl looks exactly like our salad bowl, AH, NO, I got one of those, so I got my Point to point mixed up with my bathroom and kitchen.

Come for the tech presentation, stay for the music. Then stay longer for more of the tech presentation

Chris, what is the best unifi outdoor? I live on the lake and i want to go out a little distance , I have fiber from my house to the dock and I want to mount the device there, what is the best?

Do you need a permit to put one on your building or on a pole on the other end?

How do you add a 5Ghz backup link? How will the network know to fall back to the 5GHz link? I like the UBB link because 5GHz BU is built in but it’s not full duplex and I need as much bandwidth as possible. I’m in NE Ohio area & I’m concerned about weather interfering w/ 60GHz.

I would love to see a video on how to set up a Point to Point radio link, similar to this one (but this link could also incorporate a back-up link as well). I would also like to know how I could then go about incorporating OSPF routing into this setup. I would also be very interested in learning if I could use OSPF (or something similar) to also incorporate two Internet connections (for both load balancing and failover) into my home Network. :-)

I am planning to install this in our university, main building and branch. The distance is about 5.5km. My question is what is the configuration on cisco switchport? We have multiple vlans in our local network.

Please can you indicate what ubiquiti switch did you use for the 2nd airfiber that will receive internet connection?

Doing actually a similar test with the 24 GHz PtP AirFibre. I hope to have less interference from WLAN in domestic ares compared to the 5 GHz version.

Any chance you can show us your OSPF configuration? More specifically, how you did it, as the edgerouters do not make that a simple process. UDM > EdgeRouter > AF60/NanoBeam, just not a simple setup. Worth a video for sure.

Would be good if you could a video on the 5Ghz fail over setup with OSPF. That sounds quite interesting. Would be pretty easy to fail over jsut blocking the 60Ghz radios.

What is the maximum distance for PTP?

Is it really 802.3at POE for the power? I thought most of the Ubiquiti UISP/airmax stuff was passive POE.

A few comments: First off, you said it was full duplex. I suspect you'll find it's actually half duplex, but switches direction so fast it appears as full duplex, just like WiFi. This is sometimes referred to as "ping pong". As for no power adjustment, in many areas automatic power adjustment is mandatory, so that the minimum amount of power is used, so as to reduce interference potential. You also mentioned using OSPF to connect a 5 GHz fallback link. You might consider spanning tree or, better yet, shortest path bridging. While spanning tree allows for only one of the links to be used at a time, SPB allows both. This could provide a bit better bandwidth. BTW, I have worked with short haul microwave a few times over the past 30 years.

How does 60ghz do on penetration for trees? Does it have to be a perfect LOS or can it go through a few / lines of trees?

Hey, can this device be used for 15km PtP Solution? If Yes Good but if NO. Please share your recommendation of another UBNT device that can do 15km with 1gb Torughput. I need it for the link backhaul. Thank you

Great Video. If you set up a point to point to another location with a different ISP can they be set up as a failover in case one ISP goes out?

Hi Sir, Can we use it for short distance between two buildings.

i cant even get a mile with these. Is there some kind of setting to give it more power ?

I can't complain about Ubiquiti for ease and of use and pretty good performance. But one thing I don't like it's their hardware. It's powder coated steel and it rots on salty enviorements. Also their screws are regular screws. If they upgraded to aluminum and stainless hardware it would be 10 out of 10.

Can you use this with a normal dream machine? Or do you need to use the ISP?

What is the maximum MTU for these devices? I need to be able to use Jumbo Frames.

8:32 Country selection box is completely greyed out because it has GPS inbuilt and it's taking country name directly from dish's coordinates..

i like it

my isp has just fitted one of these on my roof, and when ever it begins to rain my connection disconnects, anyone know how sensitive these are to rain?

Hi sir this Af60-lr Device Frequency Support India?? ptp Distance 6 Km and other one 10 Km any Possibility this support Device?

It's very hard to know which wireless bridge to choose because there's so many options and no general overview videos that I could find. Would love to see that video made Chris.

How much yout speedtest when testing on 5km distance?

Sir, i want to try 11km ptp using this device. I hope next month can do it. Now i'm using lhg xl ac ptp with ldf AC.

Look at the Smile on the thumbnail😀

it's possible 3 antenna setup. 1 AP and 2 Station?

Wherever there is buffering, we'll be there

Chris, nice demonstration! A few months ago at a state park in Florida, we set up a 401 meter ptp link using a pair of Gigabeam AC60/5 Ghz APs. Cost was only $130 per AP. My link is mostly across water, but there are trees not far from the signal path. Binoculars and the alignment software made it easy to set up. Although I have an excellent link with a total capacity of 269 Mbps, I wish it was faster. Do you think I should have stepped up to a longer range model for greater speed? Beware when using Ubiquiti pipe clamps. Although they appear stainless steel, I had two units rust-out and break in two months while within 1/2 mile of ocean. When the AP hangs from Ethernet cable, rain water slides down cable and into connector, shorting it out. Now I'm hoping Ubiquiti will cover it under warranty.

how do you do this alone. how do you do the alignment alone?

How does it perform on rainy days?

Tenho um ptp com um par das AF60-LR e quando chove é um caos... elas perdem conexão por causa da intensidade da chuva

Hey Chris, thanks for the video. I've been using RocketDish M5 w/radomes for years now. They run a 5km link over water in a very rainy/windy area in the Pacific Northwest. I was seriously considering upgrading to these new 60GHz radios but you really threw me for a loop when you said they're very susceptible to rain and snow. The biggest reason for looking to upgrade is because the RocketDish M5's with radomes are freaking massive/heavy and I've had one come down in high winds (it survived). Is there a better upgrade path from our RD M5's?

is there a minumim mounting height recomended?

Do you have a WISP system in operation? I'm wanting to get someone to show me around a working system with customers and a backhaul. I'm considering putting in one in my area. Also I would love to see what these units will do in heavy rain and snow

How many distance this will work better

how do you think it would do through some trees?

Si muore piano piano con queste frequenze

Chris, what is the difference between this and the almost if not identical Gigabeam 60 LR?

this is possible to philippines and how much?

how mych rf power that puts out?

Can the mtu increase

Out of curiosity, has anyone experienced a 10mbps LAN connection on the master side?

I'm not familiar with how 60 GHz radios fade in/out. The link could degrade quite a bit without OSPF triggering to the backup link. If 60 GHz fails, and fails quickly, that would work better. But then you run the risk of losing/delaying packets when flipping back and forth frequently. Not something you would want to run a VPN over.

That's cool that has the fail over but if you have to fix them or replace them the internet is still going to be down sense its the same unit.

Why was it only pulling kbps??

That brain of the operation looks like a shower wand

Hoping that this technology will be usable one day to save me from the awful existence that is Spectrum upload speed.

If we add PC/other devices on both sides, how big is the ping between 2 PC/device? Sometimes radio ping is good but the device below is lacking.

Does this device support vlans? I cant find any information for that?

Really cool p2p links

I know it says this is two years old but why on the site at least that I first saw from someone it says $1000 each because that’s just crazy

I learnt a very long time ago, don't believe the distance claims. Comes with power levels usually not legal to run along with degraded throughputs just to get the range. 60Ghz is known as the Oxygen band for a reason.

60Ghz... Better hope it never rains or gets foggy anywhere between that 12km...

rains out at 4-5km still,pretty solid at 3km

Any idea if this will go through about 1300ft of trees? If not, can you recommend anything that would?

Backup link on the same device? Not a good idea. If power injector, or a cable, or a unit fails you will be left with loss of connectivity.

at -74? does that even count?

Do you need a Dream Machine to set up the devices?

Does it require a license?

You talk about the link distance, surely you need to consider a path budget especially in poor weather conditions. You may get 12km on a clear day but what about during a wet winter ? As the 'receive levels fall towards the receivers limit up goes the error rates. Radios should alarm at 1 in10/6 drop out at 1 in 10/3. All symptons when the link hasn't been budgeted correctly for the weather conditions it's used in

Why do they need to know which is the access point side?

how are thay at going truh 200-300ft of forest?

We really need an improved low cost 10/100Gbps wired protocol to keep up with the wireless throughput available.

Far less expensive and far smaller than the Army solution from pre-2009 with much greater bandwidth. I am sure it would require less power and thus less getting up at night to refuel generators to power these devices in the field. We know the Army wouldn't buy these though as it would mean those over O-5 could not go to cush jobs selling crap to the military post retirement for huge salaries.

/DiSrEgArD/ -------> my question as I've tried several times to just run the STARLINK cable directly into AC5-GEN2's AirLink then into a router and it was all buffooned...it's not intended to work that way is the short answer. I still don't know why as it's not like the Starlink nor the Airlink would care seeing the Airlink is just an invisible wire to describe it lightly and in that invisible wire it then gets to a router where it does its WAN==DHCP happiness bla bla bla.... I have a "QUESTION". So I have Starlink Internet and I had to mount my dish to my Barn. Since it's there I ran the Ethernet Cable into my Barns Tack Room, can I run the Starlink Ethernet directly into my Station side of my first Ubiquiti AC5 Gen2 airlink on the barn and over to my house (2nd AC5 Remote side) then into my Router to distribute Internet etc? Reason I am asking is I installed a TPLink Router in the barn and have Starlink plugged in that (DHCP enabled etc) then it goes through the Airlink where it comes in my house and into a 2nd TPLink router (set as Access Point) and distributes via LAN and Wireless throughout my house. I'd like to eliminate the barn router if possible if it's redundant and not needed!

I am not sure what you are testing here? its like testing a tesla by driving it up and down your driveway.

Lets talk about 60 km or + ...

u have aged man.

20

Can I use my shower head ?

downside to deplotment is you will need to purxgase 20-60GHz license

Damn it! I can't afford it and have over thirty kilometers line of sight!
