AmpliTech Group's 5G 64T64R MIMO Cellular Radio Platform Supports Evolution of AI-Enabled Wireless Infrastructure at Northeastern University

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., May 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AmpliTech Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMPG, AMPGR, AMPGZ), a designer, developer, and manufacturer of advanced RF and microwave signal processing components and 5G infrastructure systems, today announced that its O-RAN CAT B 64T64R Massive MIMO radio unit served as the central hardware platform in Northeastern University's demonstration of the world's first open-source prototype of a Massive MIMO AI-RAN system, conducted by the Institute for Intelligent Networked Systems (INSI) Open6G OTIC in combining an Amplitech MIMO O-RAN Category B radio unit, NVIDIA AI Aerial software for layer 1 and layer 2 RAN. Northeastern University reported its successful demonstration in a press release dated May 20, 2026. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/northeastern-university-demonstrates-first-open-source-prototype-of-a-massive-mimo-ai-ran-system-302777855.html?tc=eml_cleartime

The demonstration highlights how future wireless networks may become faster, smarter, and more responsive by using artificial intelligence directly inside the network infrastructure itself. Technologies like AI-RAN are designed to help wireless systems automatically adapt to changing demand, improve coverage in crowded areas, reduce congestion, and support the growing need for high-speed connectivity across homes, businesses, campuses, transportation systems, and smart cities.

Building on a Record of Industry Firsts

Today's announcement extends AmpliTech's ongoing research and commercialization partnership with Northeastern University's Open6G OTIC, which has previously produced a series of industry-first milestones, including the first end-to-end, multi-vendor, virtualized O-RAN-compliant Massive MIMO network demonstration. AmpliTech's 64T64R radio is the only radio of its configuration to have been certified by the Open6G OTIC, the O-RAN Alliance-qualified testing center at Northeastern University and is the only radio of its kind designed and commercialized by an American company.

Commercial Implications

As wireless networks continue evolving toward AI-driven 5G and future 6G systems, the demonstration shows how open and flexible network technologies can help accelerate deployment of faster and more reliable connectivity. AmpliTech’s radio platform is being used not only in today’s advanced 5G environments, but also in the development of next-generation wireless systems designed to support increasing global demand for mobile data, streaming, cloud applications, connected devices, and AI-powered services.

“What Northeastern demonstrated today is an example of how artificial intelligence can help make future wireless networks smarter, faster, and more reliable,” said Fawad Maqbool, Founder, Chairman, President, and CEO of AmpliTech Group. “We are proud that our 64T64R platform was part of this collaborative demonstration alongside NVIDIA and OpenAirInterface as the industry advances toward AI-enabled Open RAN networks.”
