Case Study: Connecting the Impossible with Ubiquiti airFiber 60 XG. Two Clients’ Success Stories

Hi there, Juan David Here, your Tech lead Support and Ubiquiti Certified Trainer at Flytec. As leading distributors in the industry we pride ourselves on delivering top-notch networking solutions to our clients. Recently, two of our customers approached us with a shared challenge: establishing reliable and high-speed internet connectivity between buildings without running new cables or paying hefty fees for separate internet services. Armed with Ubiquiti’s airFiber 60 XG (AF60-XG), both clients tackled their unique scenarios, proving why this technology is a game-changer for bridging network gaps

Client 1: The Creative Warehouse Expansion

The Challenge

A creative media company needed to connect their new content production warehouse to their main office. The distance between the two buildings was a mere 60 feet, but running underground cables was not an option. Paying for a separate internet service felt unnecessary and financially impractical for the team, especially when their existing fiber connection in the main office could handle the load.

The Solution

Using Ubiquiti’s AF60-XG, the company created a seamless wireless bridge between the two locations. The system offered up to 6 Gbps throughput, ensuring no drop in performance for their video uploads, file sharing, and online operations. The team mounted AF60-XG dishes on both buildings’ rooftops, aligning them with precision to ensure maximum signal strength.

The Results

With minimal setup time and no monthly service fees for a second internet connection, the creative warehouse achieved speeds exceeding 2 Gbps in both upload and download. This setup saved the company an estimated $2,400 per year in internet fees while maintaining the reliability needed for their critical operations.

“Not only did the AF60-XG exceed our expectations, but it also integrated seamlessly with our existing infrastructure. We’re already considering using this solution for other remote sites,” said the project manager.

Client 2: The Logistics Hub Upgrade

The Challenge

A logistics company expanded their operations to a nearby warehouse, approximately 3 kilometers from their main headquarters. The new facility required high-speed internet to connect to the company’s central servers. Running fiber optic cables would have been time-consuming and expensive, costing tens of thousands of dollars in installation fees alone.

The Solution

Flytec supplied the company with the AF60-XG, a cost-effective alternative to traditional cabling. The installation involved mounting the AF60-XG units on both rooftops and aligning them carefully to ensure a clear line of sight. The ruggedized, outdoor-rated equipment was perfect for the task, designed to withstand harsh weather conditions while delivering stable, high-speed performance.

The Results

The logistics hub now enjoys gigabit-level speeds with an average latency of just 1 millisecond—perfect for their time-sensitive operations. What’s more, the airFiber system eliminated the need for costly infrastructure investments, saving the company over $50,000 in upfront expenses.

“Thanks to the AF60-XG, we didn’t just solve a connectivity problem—we optimized our entire workflow. The speeds are phenomenal, and the installation was far easier than we imagined,” the IT manager shared.

Why AF60-XG Is the Ultimate Solution

Both clients highlighted key features that made the AF60-XG an unbeatable choice:

• Lightning-Fast Speeds: Up to 6 Gbps throughput ensures zero compromise in performance, even for data-heavy tasks.
• Low Latency: With just 1 millisecond of latency, the system rivals traditional fiber connections.
• Cost Savings: Avoiding recurring internet fees or large installation costs makes the AF60-XG an ideal investment for growing businesses.
• Ease of Installation: The simple alignment process and user-friendly interface mean teams can be up and running in no time.

Lessons Learned: Deploying AF60-XG with Precision

1. Alignment is Key: Achieving the highest throughput depends on precise alignment of the AF60-XG dishes. Both clients emphasized the importance of taking the time to ensure proper calibration.
2. Weather-Proofing Matters: Outdoor-rated cabling and surge protectors are essential for long-term reliability, especially in areas prone to heavy rain or extreme temperatures.
3. Integration with Existing Networks: The AF60-XG is designed to seamlessly integrate into a variety of network infrastructures, ensuring easy management and monitoring regardless of the existing equipment or setup.
