Point-to-point radio for low-interference links
The AF60-US is a 60 GHz radio system with an integrated high-gain dish antenna designed for long-range wireless connectivity. It includes a 5 GHz radio that provides automatic backup when the primary link degrades. This hardware suits network operators and integrators who need carrier-grade throughput without licensed spectrum.
Upgrade from congested 5 GHz-only bridges
The jump is worth it when existing links suffer from spectrum crowding or require higher sustained throughput than a single 5 GHz radio can deliver. The 60 GHz band offers a cleaner noise floor, while the 5 GHz fallback maintains availability during heavy rain or obstruction. It replaces point-to-point gear that cannot dynamically adapt channel width to link conditions.
Up to 2 km range with 1 Gbps throughput headroom
The system comfortably handles full-duplex gigabit traffic across clear line-of-sight paths up to two kilometres. Automatic switching between 2 GHz and 1 GHz channel widths preserves capacity as signal quality varies. Integrated GPS simplifies alignment and timing for multi-site deployments. Heavy precipitation or solid obstacles will reduce the 60 GHz link margin, triggering the 5 GHz backup at lower bandwidth.

Questions about this item
What mounting hardware is included for the integrated dish antenna?
The unit ships with a pole-mount bracket that clamps to masts up to 60 mm in diameter and allows tilt and azimuth adjustment for precise alignment.
Which step do installers most often miss when linking the 60 GHz and 5 GHz radios?
After aiming the dish, you must enable GPS sync on both ends and verify the 5 GHz backup channel is configured with the same SSID and security profile before the link will fail over automatically.
How often should the dish radome and GPS antenna be inspected?
Check the radome for debris or water ingress every six months and confirm the GPS antenna has a clear sky view; clean with a soft cloth and replace the radome seal if cracks appear.
