MTI Wireless Edge Ltd
("MTI" or the "Group")
Trial order from TIER 1 supplier for 5G antenna innovation
MTI Wireless Edge Ltd (AIM: MWE), the technology group focused on comprehensive communication and radio frequency solutions across multiple sectors, is pleased to announce that its Antenna division has received a trial order, from a TIER 1 OEM vendor, for its new automatic beam steering ("ABS") antenna solution as part of the Company's 5G solution.
The global wireless backhaul market is dominated by seven key OEM vendors. Some of the seven are considered Tier-1 and some are Tier-2, all of them supply radio equipment to the main cellular network operators to support the roll-out of 5G infrastructure. With this order, MTI now works with five out of the seven leading OEM vendors and this is the first order from a TIER 1 OEM vendor for the ABS antenna solution.
MTI's main product for the 5G market is a 80 GHz ABS antenna solution allowing the cellular operator to increase backhaul capacity and link distance to enable the delivery of the faster, higher bandwidth, services. However, antenna beams in higher frequencies, such as E Band, are narrower and are very sensitive to mast or antenna movements. In response, MTI has developed the ABS antenna solution, which ensures the antenna automatically adapts to any small movements or vibrations caused by different climate conditions, including wind or temperature, and maintains a stable signal even during difficult conditions.
The order from the TIER 1 OEM vendor is a trial order to enable it to carry out its own tests on the ABS antenna solution which currently works in MTI's test range. If successful, this will be an important technical development, potentially moving MTI's total 5G solution up the value chain.
MTI's CEO, Moni Borovitz, commented: "While it is early days for the ABS antenna solution, it is an exciting development which has the potential to materially expand our 5G offering. The fact we have already attracted the interest of a new TIER 1 customer, shows in my view, the potential importance of the product."
