AmpliTech Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMPG) announced the launch of two new 5G base station units that support Band 2 (PCS 1900 FDD) and Band 41/n41 (2.5 GHz TDD), expanding its Open RAN (ORAN) portfolio for global cellular tower deployments. The new radios are designed for both traditional mobile operators and private 5G networks, supporting O-RAN Split 7-2a, 10G fronthaul over SFP+, and -48V DC telecom power, enabling streamlined integration into modern Open RAN architectures.
The Band 41/n41 Outdoor O-RU and Band 2 Outdoor RU are targeted at high-capacity urban 5G networks, airport and university private 5G systems, smart city video and IoT deployments, stadium connectivity, fixed wireless broadband, and industrial automation in mining and ports. According to industry forecasts, global Open RAN infrastructure spending is expected to grow significantly as operators modernize legacy networks.
Band 2 radios are relevant for markets including the United States, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, El Salvador, Panama, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Trinidad & Tobago, and Guam. Band 41/n41 radios target countries such as India, Japan, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Bahrain, and the United States, among others.
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. MWC Barcelona is the world’s largest connectivity event, bringing together global mobile and tech leaders to showcase advances in 5G/6G, Open RAN, cloud, AI, and devices. MWC Barcelona is 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,” 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 that reduce risk for customers, lower qualification costs, and expedite interoperability testing. “Our increasing portfolio, combined with key O-RAN certifications, reduces deployment risk for customers and accelerates purchasing decisions,” he said.
