About Us
Specialists in mobile communications infrastructure
Waves N Pines is a focused engineering consultancy dedicated to next-generation mobile networks. Our team brings deep expertise in 3GPP 5G standalone and non-standalone architectures, early 6G research programs, NTN integration over satellite and HAPS platforms, and O-RAN disaggregated RAN deployments.
We work across the full network stack — from 5G core network functions (AMF, SMF, UPF, NRF) and service-based architecture (SBA) to open fronthaul, RIC platforms and multi-vendor interoperability testing. Every engagement is grounded in 3GPP specifications and real-world operator requirements.
- 3GPP Release 15–19 (5G SA/NSA, RedCap, NTN)
- O-RAN Alliance WG-compliant deployments
- Load testing, conformance and interop validation at scale
