- AmpliTech said its full indoor 5G Native DAS hardware stack is now certified by regulators in both the U.S. and Canada.
- The company said it can begin commercial sales, shipping, and network integration in North America immediately.
- AMPG shares jumped about 14% in premarket trading after the announcement.
AmpliTech Group shares rose before the bell Wednesday after it said its full indoor 5G Native Distributed Antenna System, or DAS, got approval in the U.S. and Canada. The system aims to boost wireless coverage inside buildings.
AmpliTech said it has secured approvals from both the FCC and ISED Canada for its 5G Pico Radio, AC and DC Mother Hubs, and Cascading Hubs. With these certifications, AmpliTech can now sell, ship, and integrate its system across the U.S. and Canada.
AmpliTech said it’s moving into full 5G infrastructure systems, expanding from its component roots. Shares gained about 14% before the market opened, according to Investing.com. Nasdaq had not opened yet.
AmpliTech rolled out a new product for Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) and Private 5G, the company said. FWA brings broadband over wireless, not fiber. Private 5G covers places like factories, logistics centers, military bases, and hospitals. AmpliTech says its system pushes 5G over thousands of feet.
AmpliTech CEO and CTO Fawad Maqbool said new approvals are “one of the most significant technical and operational milestones” for AmpliTech. Maqbool said the company is moving past standalone radios and is now aiming at an “end-to-end infrastructure solution.” GlobeNewswire
AmpliTech has secured orders for its product suite from a North American mobile network operator, according to Maqbool. Shipments should begin later this year. The company hasn’t named the customer or disclosed the deal’s value.
AmpliTech released its update a week after reporting first-quarter revenue up 48.6% to $5.35 million from a year ago. Gross margin improved to 48.0%, up from 33.0%. Net loss narrowed to $1.52 million, compared with $1.84 million, a company filing showed.
AmpliTech’s most recent balance sheet gives the small-cap a bit of room. The company said it held $11.8 million in cash and equivalents and had $6.6 million in marketable securities as of March 31, according to its latest quarter. Working capital was $25.4 million. The accumulated deficit hit $29.5 million.
AmpliTech’s latest certification puts it in the mix with other communications-equipment firms, where customers weigh price, compatibility, and reliability. StockTitan’s market screen noted Ceragon Networks and Inseego moving up along with AMPG, suggesting some action among small telecom-equipment names, but AmpliTech’s move followed its own certification news.
Open RAN, or Open Radio Access Network, is designed to let hardware from multiple suppliers work together through open specs. AmpliTech said its Native DAS connects Open RAN equipment inside one vendor’s setup. This could help integrators by making the system less complicated to install.
AmpliTech faces some big hurdles. Certification alone won’t bring in large contracts. The company is losing money. In filings, AmpliTech warns its plans could fall short, pointing to supply-chain problems and uncertainty over market demand for O-RAN as main risks.
Maqbool described the quarter as “meaningful progress” during last week’s earnings call. The company held its full-year revenue forecast and said it expects more revenue in the back half of the year. Investors are watching to see if today’s regulatory clearance results in shipments and actual cash flow as planned.
