Long Wave Inc.
Veteran-owned small business founded in 1995 that installs and sustains VLF, LF and HF communications systems and towers and provides software, engineering, NC3 and training support to defense customers.
Long Wave Inc. is a veteran-owned small business that has served defense customers since 1995, when it began by advising the U.S. Navy on Very Low Frequency communications. Based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, the company installs, sustains, surveys, repairs and removes VLF, LF and HF communications systems and towers, alongside antenna engineering and communications infrastructure work. Its wider portfolio covers software development, legacy platform modernisation, mission and systems engineering, support to Nuclear Command, Control and Communications (NC3) programmes, and the creation of simulators, publications and custom training products.
The firm's workforce includes retired military personnel and spans senior engineers, software developers, antenna specialists, project managers and training professionals, supporting field crews, engineers and office-based teams on shared defence objectives. Employees are expected to take ownership of delivery, communicate directly with customers and partners, and identify risks early. The company describes its culture as rooted in integrity, innovation, reliability, teamwork and continual improvement.
Safety is treated as an operating value rather than a formality: leaders review field hazards before deployment, employees take part in ongoing safety training, and the company participates in the NATE STAR Initiative. Work is carried out across the defence, government contracting, military communications, telecommunications infrastructure and naval communications sectors.
