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 requirements.
