HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., Feb. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AmpliTech Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMPG), today announced the launch of two new 5G base station units, the core equipment installed at cellular towers 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
  • Industrial automation in mining and ports

Target Markets

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/demand, (regional availability will depend on local spectrum allocations and regulatory approvals), we may list the following countries:

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 practical prospecting and as examples of Band 41 usage/demand, (regional availability will depend on local spectrum allocations and regulatory approvals), we may list the following countries:

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.

Mr. Fawad Maqbool, AmpliTech Group’s CEO/CTO stated: “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. The Band 2 and Band 41/n41 O-RAN radios are available for customer evaluation and deployment programs immediately”.

Mr. Maqbool concludes: “These new 5G base station units significantly expand our addressable global market footprint,” said Fawad Maqbool, CEO of AmpliTech Group. “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.”
