AmpliTech’s 5G Open RAN radio receives O-RAN certification

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y. - AmpliTech Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMPG) announced Tuesday that its 64T64R MIMO 5G Open RAN radio has received certification from the O-RAN ALLIANCE Certification and Badging Program. The news comes as AMPG shares have delivered a remarkable 79.31% return over the past year, significantly outperforming the broader market. According to InvestingPro data, the stock appears undervalued based on its Fair Value assessment.

The certification, identified as NANU26001, was completed at the Institute for Intelligent Networked Systems, an O-RAN Alliance qualified Open Testing and Integration Centre. It confirms the radio platform’s conformity to O-RAN technical specifications for radio interfaces and operational behaviors.

AmpliTech’s certified radio supports 5G NR Band n78 (3.55-3.7 GHz) with up to 100 MHz carrier bandwidth, TDD operation, and O-RAN Split 7-2x (Category B). This configuration is typically deployed in high-capacity 5G macro networks serving densely populated areas such as urban centers, transportation hubs, and campuses.

The certification verifies that the equipment meets specifications allowing radios, baseband units, and software from different suppliers to operate together in a single network, which can help network operators deploy multi-vendor networks with greater confidence.

"O-RAN conformance certification is a meaningful step that confirms our radio platform aligns with industry-defined standards for Open RAN deployments," said Fawad Maqbool, CEO and CTO of AmpliTech Group.

The O-RAN Certification & Badging Program uses standardized test procedures administered by authorized OTICs to independently verify conformance with O-RAN specifications.

AmpliTech Group designs and manufactures RF and microwave signal-processing components for satellite, 5G/6G telecom, quantum computing, defense, and space applications through its five divisions.

This announcement is based on a press release statement from the company.

In other recent news, AmpliTech Group has been active with several notable developments. The company announced the completion of the initial phase of testing for its 64T64R CAT-B Massive MIMO O-RU during the O-RAN Global PlugFest Fall 2025, marking a significant milestone as the first U.S. company to bring a commercial-grade 64T64R radio into formal O-RAN lab testing. Additionally, AmpliTech achieved a 100% successful handover validation rate for its Radio Units during the same event, demonstrating interoperability across multi-vendor environments. In financial updates, AmpliTech extended the expiration date of its unit rights offering to January 9, 2026, after raising approximately $6.7 million in subscription commitments.

Shareholders recently approved an amendment to the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, increasing the number of shares available for issuance by 2,800,000. This approval came during the company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Furthermore, AmpliTech has strengthened its advisory board by appointing Prof. Tommaso Melodia, a wireless communications expert, to provide strategic guidance. These developments reflect AmpliTech’s ongoing efforts to enhance its technological capabilities and financial strategies.
