Status: Product Ready
Etherwave’s Multi-5G System is an end-to-end cloudified implementation of multiple 5GS instances, including Core, RAN, simulated UEs and RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC), designed for education and training purposes. Multi-5GS enables students and researchers to deep-dive into the 5G System’s protocols, procedures and functionality in an isolated and controlled environment.
Why this matters
5G experimentation is often expensive, fragmented, and difficult to reproduce. Setting up realistic environments requires significant infrastructure, time, and expertise, limiting access to innovation. Multi-5GS changes that, as follows:
- Enables reproducible, scenario-driven testing without complex setup.
- Supports education, research, and prototyping in a controlled, flexible environment.
- Reduces the barrier to exploring advanced concepts like slicing, QoS, and edge integration
- Offers isolated instances for safe learning and experimentation
- Preconfigured 5G System including Near-RT RIC, Wireshark and performance metrics.
- No endless configurations, just 5GS.
Whether you are a student, researcher, or engineer, Multi-5GS provides a practical and scalable way to experiment, learn, and build on top of 5G systems.

Current direction
Multi-5GS is evolving from a validated platform into a commercially exploitable solution. Ongoing development includes continuous maintenance and upgrades, such as the integration of OCUDU to replace legacy srsRAN setups.
Our focus is on delivering a robust, scalable environment for training, experimentation, and applied research, while preparing the platform for subscription-based access and broader industry adoption.
