Ubiquiti AirWire - WiFI 7 Network Card with STR MLO (U-AirWire)

Ubiquiti AirWire – High-Performance Network Adapter with STR MLO

Ubiquiti AirWire (U-AirWire) is a network adapter designed to fully utilize the capabilities of the WiFi 7 (802.11be) standard. An important feature of this adapter is support for STR MLO (Simultaneous Transmit and Receive Multi-Link Operation) technology. It enables simultaneous, full-duplex connections on multiple bands, which drastically reduces latency (ultra-low latency), increases range, and enables multi-gigabit transfer speeds.

The device operates on two main wireless bands: 6 GHz and 5 GHz, offering a total of 4 spatial streams (2x2 MU-MIMO for each DL/UL band). The card achieves throughput of up to 5.8 Gb/s in the 6 GHz band (with a 320 MHz channel width) and up to 4.3 Gb/s in the 5 GHz band (with a 240 MHz channel width). Integrated antennas with a gain of up to 11 dBi for both frequencies (maximum transmitting power is 20 dBm for 6 GHz and 25 dBm for 5 GHz) are responsible for the range and stability. The device also supports Wireless Meshing and real-time radio spectrum analysis.

The network card has a polycarbonate housing measuring 117 x 117 x 42.5 mm and weighing 537 grams, with a built-in 0.96" screen displaying the current device status. A USB-C port compliant with the USB 3.2 Gen2 standard is used for communication with a computer and management, serving as a fast 5 GbE network interface. Power is supplied via USB Power Delivery (USB PD 5/9/12V). Depending on your requirements, the device can operate in standard Normal mode (15W) or in Performance mode (20W), unleashing its full potential, with a maximum power consumption of 18W.
