AmpliTech Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMPG) announced the launch of two new 5G base station units designed for mid-band spectrum, expanding its Open RAN (ORAN) equipment portfolio ahead of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026 in Barcelona. The new radios support Band 2 (PCS 1900 FDD) and Band 41/n41 (2.5 GHz TDD), addressing high-demand spectrum bands for global 5G deployments.
The systems are intended for both traditional mobile operators and private 5G network operators as the industry accelerates its transition to Open RAN architecture. The new radios support O-RAN Split 7-2a, 10G fronthaul over SFP+, and -48V DC telecom power, enabling streamlined integration into modern Open RAN architectures.
AmpliTech's Band 41/n41 Outdoor O-RU and Band 2 Outdoor RU are designed for applications including 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.
According to industry forecasts, global Open RAN infrastructure spending is expected to grow significantly over the next several years as operators modernize legacy networks. The company identified key target markets for each band. For Band 2, countries include the United States, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, El Salvador, Panama, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Trinidad & Tobago, and territories like Guam. For Band 41, target countries include 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 is a premier global stage for AI, 5G, and emerging technologies across industries. More information about the event is available at https://www.mwcbarcelona.com/about.
“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. In the process we have announced critically needed ORAN certifications which effectively reduces the risk to our customers, lowers their qualification costs and expedites interoperability testing projects. Our increasing portfolio, combined with key O-RAN certifications, reduces deployment risk for customers and accelerates purchasing decisions.”
