Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 08 | 5G lab testing update | Positive | +3.3% | First U.S. 64T64R CAT-B Massive MIMO O-RU into formal O-RAN testing. |
| Dec 08 | Rights offering reminder | Neutral | +3.3% | Reminder of unit rights offering terms and upcoming Dec 10, 2025 expiration. |
| Dec 04 | Shareholder meeting/demo | Positive | +4.3% | Announcement of annual meeting and ORAN private 5G Investor Demo Day. |
| Dec 03 | Follow-on LOI orders | Positive | +8.1% | Nearly $5M in follow-on LOI orders with shipments slated for 1H 2026. |
| Dec 01 | Band 50 FWA launch | Positive | -3.3% | Launch of Band 50 Open RAN FWA radios and revenue forecast lift under LOI. |
Recent AMPG news has generally seen positive price alignment, with only this Band 50 FWA announcement showing a negative reaction versus broadly positive operational tone.
Over the last few weeks, AMPG reported stronger Q3 revenue growth, launched a sizeable rights offering, and highlighted major ORAN 5G milestones. On Dec 3, 2025, it disclosed nearly $5M in follow-on LOI orders tied to a $100M program, which drew a positive reaction. The current Band 50 Open RAN FWA radio release on Dec 1, 2025 also referenced forecasts lifting LOI-related revenue from $78M to slightly over $100M, yet the stock moved lower, diverging from the generally constructive operational narrative seen in prior releases.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement highlighted the formal release of Band 50 Open RAN radios for 5G Fixed Wireless Access, with production shipments slated from December 2025 through 2027. Forecasts from a key LOI customer lifted expected revenues tied to this program from $78M to slightly over $100M. Context from recent filings shows Q3 revenue of $6.09M and a larger rights offering underway, so monitoring order conversion, customer concentration, and capital deployment remains important.

Proof Of Concept Phase Complete – Production Shipments To Start December 2025
HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., Dec. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AmpliTech Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMPG), a leading designer, developer, and manufacturer of state-of-the-art signal processing components, low-noise amplifiers (LNAs), and advanced 5G/6G ORAN systems, today announced formal release of its new Band 50 (n50) 5G Open RAN radios with capabilities to support large-scale 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) network rollouts.
Band 50 (5G NR n50, around 1.4–1.5 GHz) is a coverage workhorse for new Open RAN-based FWA networks. AmpliTech’s n50 radios are designed to sit on towers, rooftops and poles across designated sites providing:
- Wide-area 5G coverage over long distances, due to the relatively low 1.4 GHz frequency, which reaches farther and penetrates buildings better than higher mid-band spectrum.
- High spectral efficiency and capacity for home broadband, with ample TDD bandwidth to support speeds up to 100 Mbps per household while serving many users per site.
- Open, interoperable interfaces, built to O-RAN 7.2x fronthaul specifications so they can connect to multi-vendor Distributed Unit (DU) and Central Unit (CU) platforms in any Open RAN architecture.
Each Band 50 site required by the end user combines AmpliTech’s radios with any extensive fiber backbone and 5G core software, creating a highly cost-efficient FWA network specifically optimized for any rural or any challenging geography.
AmpliTech’s new Band 50 radios are designed specifically for Open RAN 5G FWA and macro deployments and offer:
- O-RAN compliant 7.2x fronthaul, fully interoperable with leading DU/CU stacks.
- High-efficiency RF front ends drawing on AmpliTech’s decades of low-noise amplifier (LNA) and RF design expertise.
- Optimized 1.4–1.5 GHz performance for deep coverage and strong indoor penetration.
- Compact, field-proven hardware designed to reduce power consumption and total cost of ownership.
- A scalable architecture that can support three-sector macro sites and denser sectorization in high-traffic areas.
Strategic significance for AmpliTech
AmpliTech has formally completed its field trial with its end customer related to the current
“This current Band 50 ORAN 5G radio release project is one of the most ambitious Open RAN and 5G FWA projects AmpliTech has put its sight on, and we are proud that AmpliTech’s research and development activities have placed our company at the forefront of ORAN 5G deployments in the world. Our mission has always been to use our RF and 5G expertise to efficiently connect more people. By releasing our new Band 50 ORAN 5G radios, we are helping delivery of fast and affordable 5G home broadband to FWA projects across the globe, which is exactly the kind of high-impact deployment we built this product line for.” Fawad Maqbool, CEO/CTO of AmpliTech Group added: “This initiative also underscores the strength of AmpliTech’s Open RAN strategy. Band 50 is a powerful coverage layer for emerging markets, and we see similar opportunities in other countries that want to combine digital-inclusion goals with vendor-diversified infrastructure.”
