AmpliTech Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMPG) announced the launch of two new 5G base station units—the Band 41/n41 Outdoor O-RU (2.5 GHz TDD) and Band 2 Outdoor RU (1850/1990 MHz)—designed to support expanding global 5G deployments across high-demand spectrum bands. The new systems are core equipment installed at cellular towers and support both traditional mobile operators and private 5G network operators as the industry accelerates its transition to Open RAN architecture.
The radios support O-RAN Split 7-2a, 10G fronthaul over SFP+, and -48V DC telecom power, enabling streamlined integration into modern Open RAN architectures. According to the company, these units can support high-capacity urban 5G networks, airport and university private 5G systems, smart city video and IoT deployments, stadium and large venue connectivity, fixed wireless broadband for homes, and industrial automation in mining and ports.
Target markets for Band 2 include the United States, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, El Salvador, Panama, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, and Trinidad & Tobago, among others. For Band 41/n41, target markets include India, Japan, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Bahrain, and the United States. Regional availability will depend on local spectrum allocations and regulatory approvals.
These new radio models, along with other AmpliTech O-RAN 5G radios, will be on display at the company’s booth in Hall 2, Stand 2B20, at MWC Barcelona 2026, taking place March 2–5, 2026. AmpliTech Group will once again exhibit at the world’s largest and most influential connectivity industry event, hosted annually by the GSMA.
“We are pleased our R&D group has made this new release of two strategic radio Bands to the growing ORAN 5G ecosystem right before our participation at MWC 2026 in Barcelona in just about two weeks,” said Fawad Maqbool, AmpliTech Group’s CEO/CTO. “The Band 2 and Band 41/n41 O-RAN radios are available for customer evaluation and deployment programs immediately. These new 5G base station units significantly expand our addressable global market footprint. By supporting widely deployed spectrum bands across North America, Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East, we position AmpliTech to participate in both public carrier upgrades and rapidly growing private 5G network deployments.”
Maqbool added that the company has announced critically needed ORAN certifications which effectively reduce risk to customers, lower qualification costs, and expedite interoperability testing projects. “Our increasing portfolio, combined with key O-RAN certifications, reduces deployment risk for customers and accelerates purchasing decisions,” he said.
The expansion comes as global Open RAN infrastructure spending is expected to grow significantly over the next several years as operators modernize legacy networks. AmpliTech Group designs, develops, and manufactures advanced RF and microwave signal-processing components and systems for satellite, 5G/6G telecom, quantum computing, defense, and space applications.
