RE:	
  Request	
  for	
  Performance	
  Equivalency	
  
	
  
In	
  reference	
  to	
  the	
  application	
  under	
  FCC	
  ID:	
  SWX-­‐AF5U,	
  and	
  pursuant	
  to	
  Code	
  of	
  
Federal	
  Regulation	
  47	
  Part	
  15	
  of	
  the	
  Commission’s	
  Rules,	
  The	
  Applicant	
  hereby	
  requests	
  
the	
  use	
  of	
  approved	
  FCC	
  ID:	
  SWX-­‐AF5	
  data	
  for	
  the	
  additional	
  bandwidths	
  of	
  30MHz,	
  be	
  
applied	
  to	
  the	
  AF5U	
  product	
  for	
  the	
  additional	
  bandwidths.	
  
	
  
The	
  airFiber	
  AF5	
  and	
  AF5U	
  models	
  are	
  identical	
  in	
  construction	
  with	
  the	
  exception	
  of	
  
two	
  filter	
  components.	
  	
  The	
  two	
  components	
  are	
  from	
  the	
  same	
  manufacturer,	
  share	
  
identical	
  physical	
  dimensions	
  and	
  have	
  similar	
  performance,	
  varying	
  only	
  in	
  the	
  effective	
  
channel	
  selectivity.	
  The	
  AF5U	
  filters	
  support	
  a	
  500	
  MHz	
  range	
  of	
  radio	
  operation	
  from	
  5	
  
700	
  to	
  6	
  200	
  MHz,	
  whereas	
  the	
  AF5	
  support	
  a	
  range	
  of	
  5	
  400	
  to	
  5	
  900	
  MHz.	
  Note	
  that	
  
the	
  pass	
  bands	
  of	
  these	
  filters	
  overlap	
  in	
  the	
  5	
  700	
  to	
  5	
  900	
  MHz	
  band,	
  where	
  they	
  
exhibit	
  equivalent	
  performance	
  characteristics.	
  	
  
	
  
For	
  50	
  MHz	
  channel	
  bandwidth	
  operation,	
  both	
  the	
  AF5U	
  and	
  the	
  AF5	
  products	
  have	
  
been	
  tested	
  to	
  demonstrate	
  compliance	
  to	
  Federal	
  Regulation	
  47	
  Part	
  15	
  of	
  the	
  
Commission	
  yielding	
  similar	
  results.	
  	
  Because	
  of	
  the	
  close	
  similarity	
  of	
  the	
  AF5	
  and	
  AF5U	
  
products,	
  Ubiquiti	
  Networks	
  asserts	
  that	
  the	
  data	
  collected	
  to	
  demonstrate	
  compliance	
  
to	
  the	
  standard	
  in	
  the	
  5	
  725	
  MHz	
  to	
  5	
  875	
  MHZ	
  band	
  for	
  10	
  MHz,	
  20	
  MHz	
  and	
  40	
  MHZ	
  
bandwidth	
  operation	
  for	
  AF5	
  product	
  is	
  representative	
  of	
  the	
  performance	
  of	
  the	
  AF5U	
  
radio	
  for	
  30	
  MHZ	
  bandwidth	
  operation	
  in	
  the	
  5	
  725	
  MHz	
  to	
  5	
  875	
  MHZ	
  band.	
  	
  Ubiquiti	
  
Networks	
  is	
  therefore	
  requesting	
  that	
  the	
  AF5	
  data	
  submitted	
  to	
  demonstrate	
  
compliance	
  to	
  the	
  standard	
  for	
  30	
  MHZ	
  bandwidth	
  operation	
  be	
  accepted	
  as	
  also	
  
demonstrating	
  compliance	
  of	
  the	
  AF5U	
  product	
  due	
  to	
  the	
  fact	
  that	
  the	
  two	
  products	
  
have	
  equivalent	
  software	
  and	
  hardware	
  functionality	
  in	
  the	
  5	
  725	
  MHz	
  to	
  5	
  875	
  MHz	
  
band	
  of	
  operation.	
  
	
  
Sincerely,	
  


                                       	
  
Ubiquiti	
  Networks
