As a company known for pushing the boundaries of wireless technology, Morelink continues to shape the future of 5G coverage with its innovative, high-performance, and energy-efficient solutions.

The newly launched 5G Repeater series is a revolutionary line of NSA smart repeaters that support the simultaneous operation of multiple operators' frequencies, ensuring seamless coverage and providing a solid foundation for the development of AI repeaters. Morelink 5G Repeaters offer class-leading flexibility in an ultra-compact size and low power consumption footprint enabled by MaxLinear’s MxL1600 RF transceivers.

Based on MaxLinear’s innovative RF architecture and energy efficient CMOS design, the MxL1600 transceiver family delivers advanced capability for 5G wideband repeater applications, including:

  • Ultra-low power consumption that is up to 50% better than competitive offerings
  • Support for all RAN air interface standards from 2G to 5G including MC-GSM
  • Wideband RF performance up to 400MHz

“Our close collaboration with MaxLinear dramatically accelerated our new 5G repeater development,” said Dr. YT Lee, CEO at Morelink. “The flexibility and advanced performance of the MxL1600 transceivers have empowered us to build a highly competitive RF platform. The close collaboration with MaxLinear’s technical teams has also significantly shortened our time to market, enabling us to deliver cutting-edge solutions to our customers.”

As highlighted in the Ericsson Mobility Report (2024), the global demand for 5G coverage is rapidly expanding. By 2028, it is projected that 75-80% of the world’s population will have access to 5G, a dramatic increase from 60% in 2024. As urban areas approach near-total 5G coverage, rural and underserved regions will see a significant rise in coverage from just 15-20% in 2023 to 30-35% by 2028. Morelink’s 5G repeaters are poised to play a pivotal role in bridging this gap and enabling cost-effective, high-quality connectivity for all.

Puneet Sethi, Vice President of MaxLinear’s Wireless Infrastructure Business Unit, added, “As the demand for innovative 5G coverage solutions grows, companies like Morelink are facing the challenge of delivering products that support broader bandwidths while reducing power consumption and system costs. Morelink has risen to the occasion, releasing one of the first 5G repeaters that meets these challenges with exceptional results. We are proud to partner with them and support their ongoing innovation.”
