AmpliTech Group, Inc. has announced the launch of two new 5G base station units designed to support expanding global 5G deployments across high-demand spectrum bands. The new systems support both traditional mobile operators and private 5G network operators as the industry accelerates its transition to Open RAN architecture.
The two bands are Band 2 (PCS 1900 FDD) and Band 41/n41 (2.5 GHz TDD). 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 (2.5 GHz TDD) and Band 2 Outdoor RU (1850/1990 MHz) on the tower 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.
According to industry forecasts, global Open RAN infrastructure spending is expected to grow significantly over the next several years as operators modernize legacy networks. For practical prospecting and as examples of Band 2 usage and demand, the company listed potential markets including the United States, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, El Salvador, Panama, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Trinidad & Tobago, plus territories like Guam. For Band 41 usage and demand, potential markets 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. AmpliTech Group will once again exhibit at the world's largest and most influential connectivity industry event, hosted annually by the GSMA. MWC is a premier global stage for AI, 5G, and emerging technologies across industries.
AmpliTech Group CEO/CTO Fawad Maqbool stated that 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 the company's addressable global market footprint. By supporting widely deployed spectrum bands across North America, Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East, AmpliTech positions itself to participate in both public carrier upgrades and rapidly growing private 5G network deployments. The company has announced critically needed ORAN certifications which effectively reduces the risk to customers, lowers their qualification costs and expedites interoperability testing projects. The increasing portfolio, combined with key O-RAN certifications, reduces deployment risk for customers and accelerates purchasing decisions.
The expansion of AmpliTech's 5G Open RAN portfolio comes as the telecommunications industry faces increasing pressure to modernize infrastructure while controlling costs. The move toward Open RAN architecture represents a fundamental shift in how networks are built and operated, offering operators greater flexibility and vendor diversity. For business leaders and technology executives, this development signals continued momentum in the 5G infrastructure market, with particular implications for organizations planning private 5G networks for industrial applications, smart city initiatives, and large-scale connectivity projects.
The availability of certified Open RAN equipment in widely deployed spectrum bands could accelerate 5G adoption in both developed and emerging markets. For network operators, the reduced qualification costs and interoperability testing timelines mentioned by AmpliTech could translate into faster deployment cycles and lower total cost of ownership. For enterprises considering private 5G networks, the expanded equipment options in key frequency bands provide additional flexibility in network design and implementation.
