All-in-one powerhouse for high security

Designed for high-security projects, Superior Hub Hybrid 2 combines wired reliability with wireless freedom to protect medium and large-scale sites. Everything is built in: a high-efficiency power supply and modules for Ethernet, cellular, and radio communication. Flexible security group configuration makes it ideal for offices, schools, retail networks, and logistics facilities. With informative notifications, instant photo verification, real-time control via apps, and automation scenarios, it delivers pure performance that elevates security to a new level.

 

The synergy of wired and wireless technologies

Superior Hub Hybrid is the first-generation hybrid control panel, supporting both Superior and Baseline devices. It combines wired and wireless technologies to provide comprehensive protection for small and medium-sized facilities. With informative notifications, instant photo verification, real-time control via apps, and automation scenarios, it delivers pure performance that elevates security to a new level.

Discover future-proof hardware

Superior Hub Hybrid 2 comes either in its original casing or as a board for installation into Ajax Case in combination with other devices. In the original casing, the hub's current state is always visible via LED indication. If purchased without a casing, an external LED can be connected to the hub's board and mounted outside Ajax Case. This flexibility enables installers to efficiently combine the hub with other devices and arrange them neatly within a single enclosure.

All communicators built in

Superior Hub Hybrid 2 comes fully equipped with all necessary communicators — no additional modules are needed. Built-in radio modules provide seamless connectivity between the hub and system devices. Alarms and events are sent to the monitoring station via Ethernet or cellular communication.

 

WIRED
Fibra communication technology allows installers to wire lines2 up to 2,000 m long. A single Superior Hub Hybrid can run up to 8 lines. Ajax modules that split, protect, and power the line can extend the connection distance by dozens of times.
Fibra lines are multifunctional and allow for connecting different types of devices at once. All alarms, events, and visual verification data are delivered over the same line without interference. Fibra also features robust encryption and device authentication to prevent sabotage, spoofing, and data theft.


WIRELESS
Superior Jeweller delivers Grade 3 level reliability with strong encryption and frequency hopping. It provides a radio communication range of up to 2,000 m in open space. The protocol transmits alarms, events, and readings to Ajax apps in just 0.15 seconds.
The protocol uses polling to display current device states, enabling real-time remote system control. Automatic power adjustment makes it energy efficient by avoiding the constant use of maximum transmitter power. This ensures long-lasting operation of wireless devices on pre-installed batteries.

WIRELESS
TurboWings is a wireless technology designed for delivering photo verification data over distances of up to 1,700 m in open space. It also functions as a fallback communication channel that transmits large data packets if the main connection is lost. Once it is restored, TurboWings automatically sends data backups from cameras and detectors to the hub.

WIRELESS
VoRF4 is a proprietary audio communication protocol that ensures seamless and secure data exchange between the hub and devices (e.g., voice modules). It enables reliable voice communication between the secured site and the monitoring station. Based on time division duplex technology, the protocol provides simultaneous two-way communication over distances of up to 1,700 m without requiring on-site activation.

 

Communication with Ajax server and apps

The hub can be connected to three internet providers simultaneously: one via Ethernet and two via cellular networks. Ethernet serves as the primary channel, while two SIM cards act as backups. If the primary connection is lost, the hub automatically switches to the SIM with the strongest signal — all within seconds.

Stable performance even in a blackout

Mains power supply
Superior Hub Hybrid features a built-in 110–240 V~ power supply that connects to the mains. Wired Ajax Superior devices are highly energy-efficient, consuming significantly less energy than comparable products from other manufacturers. This allows the entire system to operate without additional modules.

Backup battery
The hub can power 30 wired Ajax Superior devices for up to 60 hours while running on a 12 V⎓, 7 Ah backup battery. And when Battery power saver is enabled, the system can operate for 200 hours straight. Meanwhile, wireless Ajax Superior devices require no external power supply, as they are battery-operated.

More freedom in project design

Superior Hub Hybrid supports both Superior Jeweller and Fibra communication protocols, allowing for any combination of wired and wireless devices within a single system. Installers can create the most efficient setups using three wired topologies alongside wireless connectivity. This hybrid flexibility simplifies installation, reduces costs, and ensures reliable performance across sites of any size or complexity.


Wireless connection
Ajax wireless technologies provide up to 2,000 m of communication range in open space. Ajax range extenders can effectively double the wireless coverage and deliver a stable connection across large or complex facilities.

Beam topology
Beam (radial wiring) uses one Fibra line and provides up to 2,000 m of wired communication1 without line extenders. A single hub can support up to eight beams or a combination of beams and other topologies.

Ring topology
Ring uses two Fibra lines to form a hub–device–hub loop. If a line is broken, all devices remain operational — the system automatically splits into two beams. Ring offers up to 500 m of wired communication and can also be combined with other topologies on the same hub.

Tree topology
Tree connection helps create more complex system layouts by branching the line with Fibra accessories. Superior LineSplit Fibra divides one line into four branches and extends each by 2,000 m. Superior LineSupply Fibra provides additional power and extends the line as well.

Reliable cellular communication through any barrier

When the hub is installed in a basement or metal-enclosed space, ExternalAntenna helps overcome cellular signal interference. The 3-meter cable allows for optimal antenna placement for the strongest possible signal. If the cable is cut or damaged, both the security company and users receive an instant alert.
