Ubiquiti airFiber 8x8 MIMO Multiplexer
Utilising precise GPS Synchronisation technology, the airFiber MPx8 enables the mounting of up to four airFiber X radios onto a single airFiber dish antenna, achieving a maximum throughput of 2+ Gbps with 8x8 MIMO. This cost-effective solution allows for broadcasting on multiple channels, including adjacent channels without a guard band, and is compatible with most 5 GHz airFiber X and RocketDish antenna models. For other antenna configurations, simply mount the airFiber MPx8 on a pole. The MPx4 model can support the mounting of two airFiber X radios.
