- AmpliTech said regulators in the U.S. and Canada have certified its complete indoor 5G Native DAS hardware stack.
- The company said it can now start commercial sales, shipping and network integration in North America right away.
- AMPG shares gained roughly 14% before the bell following the announcement.
AmpliTech Group shares climbed in premarket trading Wednesday after the company reported U.S. and Canadian approval for its full indoor 5G Native Distributed Antenna System, or DAS. The system is designed to improve wireless service in buildings.
AmpliTech said it got approvals from the Federal Communications Commission and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada for its 5G Pico Radio, AC and DC Mother Hubs, and Cascading Hubs. The company said the new clearance means it can sell, ship, and integrate its system throughout the United States and Canada.
AmpliTech is now pushing into full 5G infrastructure systems from its old component business. Shares were up roughly 14% in premarket trade after the announcement, according to Investing.com. The Nasdaq market was not yet open at the time.
AmpliTech launched a new product targeting Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) and Private 5G, the company said. FWA is broadband that runs over wireless instead of fiber, while Private 5G serves sites like factories, logistics hubs, military posts, and hospitals. AmpliTech said its system delivers high-capacity 5G over thousands of feet.
AmpliTech Chief Executive and CTO Fawad Maqbool called the latest approvals “one of the most significant technical and operational milestones” for the company. He said AmpliTech is shifting away from just standalone radios, now targeting an “end-to-end infrastructure solution.” GlobeNewswire
Maqbool said AmpliTech landed orders for the product suite from a North American mobile network operator, or MNO, with shipments expected to start later this year. The company hasn’t identified the customer or put a value on the deal.
AmpliTech put out its update a week after saying Q1 revenue jumped 48.6% to $5.35 million compared to last year. Gross margin grew to 48.0% from 33.0%. Net loss shrank to $1.52 million, down from $1.84 million, according to a company filing.
AmpliTech’s latest balance sheet gives the small-cap some breathing space, though it’s not wide open. The company had $11.8 million in cash and equivalents and $6.6 million in marketable securities as of March 31, the quarterly report shows. Working capital sat at $25.4 million, while accumulated deficit reached $29.5 million.
AmpliTech’s certification lands it in a busy communications-equipment sector, where buyers look at price, how products work with others, and vendor reliability. StockTitan’s screen picked up Ceragon Networks and Inseego trading higher with AMPG, pointing to some momentum in smaller telecom-equipment stocks, but AmpliTech’s gain came after its own certification update.
Open RAN stands for Open Radio Access Network and lets hardware from different suppliers run together using open specs. AmpliTech said its Native DAS allows Open RAN gear to interoperate inside one vendor’s system. That could mean less complexity for integrators putting it all together.
The company faces a tough road. Certification isn’t a ticket to big orders. AmpliTech is still posting losses. The company’s filings caution that its plans might not go as hoped, and the certification note points to supply-chain issues and whether the market wants O-RAN designs as key risks.
Maqbool called the quarter “meaningful progress” in last week’s earnings. The company kept its full-year revenue guidance and said revenue will lean more toward the back half of the year. Now, investors are waiting to see if today’s regulatory clearance actually leads to shipments and cash coming in as planned.
