The INSI team showcased hybrid beamforming capabilities with a 2-layer MIMO configuration, demonstrating sustained throughput under mobility conditions with proper beam management. Critically, it validates that AmpliTech’s radio unit, designed for commercial deployment, can operate at full performance within a fully open, multi-vendor stack.","length":487,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"Massive MIMO systems, which use large antenna arrays to serve multiple users simultaneously through spatial multiplexing, have historically required tightly integrated, vendor-specific implementations. This demonstration challenges that assumption by showing that the full stack, from the physical layer up through the RAN control...
