The cryogenic power supplies division has a new line released, with the first order from a major US quantum computing company, and AmpliTech being one of only two domestic manufacturers of such cryogenic products. The MMICs and chips division (AGMDC) has released over 100 new products, available for sale on an online store, with global distribution partner CDI marketing products and the capability for custom designs. In the 5G business, the Massive MIMO ORAN 5G is in its third month of testing at the OTIC Center, and the company has developed a full end-to-end private 5G license product solution with significant revenue potential.
