History
The company was founded in 2012 by John D. Mezzalingua as John Mezzalingua Associates LLC, initially employing about 150 people. He previously ran the Production Products Company (PPC), which was sold to Belden Incorporated for $515.7 million.

The headquarters, located in Clay, New York was expanded in 2017. In 2021, the company operated manufacturing facilities in Syracuse, with additional R&D, manufacturing, and sales staff Dallas, Austin, Chicago, Boulder, Richmond, VA, and Europe. In 2022, the company's $100 million 5G manufacturing campus was inaugurated by New York state Governor Kathy Hochul.

Software and other technology
JMA Wireless operates on a software-based XRAN architecture, which integrates processes into a single common server and removes the need for radios and jumpers in Distributed antenna system (DAS) deployments.

In 2018, JMA Wireless acquired 5G radio provider PHAZR for an undisclosed amount. The deal allowed JMA Wireless to offer 5G RAN technologies that supports spectrum from 600 MHz all the way up to 47 GHz.

Notable projects
JMA Wireless has deployed 5g in many large stadiums including SoFi Stadium (Los Angeles), Fiserv Forum (of the Milwaukee Bucks), Sacramento Kings, JMA Wireless Dome (of Syracuse University), and other large settings, such as Carnegie Mellon University, the city of Tucson, American Dream Meadowlands, Crowne Plaza Atlanta-Midtown, and Olympic Stadium in Italy.
