AmpliTech Group, Inc. and Northeastern University’s INSI researchers have successfully demonstrated an open-source prototype of a massive MIMO O-RAN system with Category B operation. This milestone integrates AmpliTech’s commercial-grade radio unit with OAI’s CU/DU stack, showcasing hybrid beamforming capabilities and sustained throughput under mobility conditions. The demonstration challenges the need for vendor-specific implementations in massive MIMO systems, emphasizing the compatibility of open, interoperable components. This achievement paves the way for practical deployment of Massive MIMO Open RAN systems without proprietary ecosystems. The results support the momentum around Open RAN and next-generation wireless systems for future 5G and 6G networks.
