Wupatec wins the MWC Innovation Award 2026
Irene de Gruijter represented Wupatec at the MWC Pitch Contest in Barcelona — and won. A recognition rooted in a concrete engineering challenge: managing frequency transitions at the edge of 5G and 6G.

In less than a week, we’ll be engaging with the wireless ecosystem to shape the future of 6G and energy-efficient RF systems.
WUPATEC will be present on Monday, March 2, 2026, at the Mission nationale France 6G Station within the French Pavilion (Business France) during MWC 2026 in Barcelona.
With the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) launching its 2026 Call, Wupatec is officially opening its doors to strategic collaborations for Stream C-01.
High in the Chilean Andes, at 5,000 meters above sea level, a bold idea took shape: building a giant “cosmic eye” capable of capturing the faintest whispers of the universe: cold molecular clouds, newborn stars, and distant galaxies from the early cosmos. That idea became ALMA, the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array, one of the most powerful radio telescopes ever built.
Wupatec will take part in MWE 2025 in Yokohama alongside our Japanese distributor IMC, where we will present a joint demonstration developed in collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric.
This upcoming demo is centered on GaN power amplifier behaviour in the FR3 band (7.125–24.25 GHz) under wideband operating conditions.
The FR3 range will play a central role in 5G-Advanced and future 6G systems. It combines high data rates and low latency (which are features of FR1 and FR2 bands) with the ability to penetrate buildings and maintain connections over longer distances than mmWave (or FR2). All this, while avoiding the drawbacks of the current bands in use.
The 2025 edition of European Microwave Week (EuMW) took place in Utrecht from 21 to 26 September, bringing together key players in RF, microwave and wireless technologies. For Wupatec, it was an opportunity to meet engineers, researchers, and partners from across the industry to discuss the future of high-efficiency RF systems and emerging FR3 frequency bands.

The FR3 band (7.125 – 24.25 GHz) has been gaining attention for its potential to address current performance gaps and enhance future networks.
This exclusive webinar brought together experts from both industry and academia who shared insights from their respective fields.
