The Oscium Nomad is now fully supported in Airtool Pi, enabling powerful, multi-channel Wi-Fi packet captures directly from your iPhone or iPad.

This integration is possible through a collaboration between Hamina Wireless and Intuitibits, combining high-performance hardware and streamlined software to deliver a practical, mobile-first solution for wireless professionals.

The Oscium Nomad is a compact, battery-powered device with four integrated Wi-Fi 6E radios, purpose-built for professional site surveys and advanced wireless troubleshooting. With this update, Airtool Pi can now control the Nomad directly, allowing simultaneous captures across the 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands. Capture files are saved locally on your iOS device, making it easy to review and share results as part of your workflow.

What This Integration Enables

Airtool Pi connects directly to the Nomad and allows you to configure and start packet captures on up to four channels simultaneously across multiple bands and channel widths. In addition to simultaneous captures, Airtool Pi can also scan across all supported channels by sequentially hopping between them using the Nomad. This enables comprehensive visibility into network activity, helping you identify active networks and analyze traffic across the full range of Wi-Fi channels.

Designed with mobility in mind, Airtool Pi lets you manage the entire capture process from your iPhone or iPad. Whether you are walking a site or performing on-site analysis, you have full control of the workflow in a compact and portable setup.

The Nomad supports the 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands, as well as 20, 40, 80, and 160 MHz channels. It is well-suited for capturing traffic in modern Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 environments, making it a powerful tool for wireless professionals in the field.

How It Works

Using the Oscium Nomad with Airtool Pi is simple and follows the same straightforward workflow as Airtool 2. Just connect the Nomad to your iPhone or iPad and open Airtool Pi. From there, select Oscium Nomad as the capture sensor and choose between scanning all supported channels or setting up a multi-channel capture using up to four adapters. For multi-channel captures, you can configure each adapter individually by selecting the desired channel and channel width. Once configured, tap Capture to begin. When the capture is complete, the file is saved locally on your device and can be easily shared using AirDrop, email, or other supported methods.

Conclusion

The addition of Oscium Nomad support in Airtool Pi brings powerful, multi-channel Wi-Fi packet capture capabilities to your iPhone or iPad in a way that is both intuitive and field-ready. By combining robust hardware with a streamlined mobile workflow, this integration offers wireless professionals a practical and efficient tool for capturing and analyzing Wi-Fi traffic across the 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands. Whether conducting a site survey or troubleshooting a network issue, Airtool Pi and the Nomad give you the control, flexibility, and portability to get the job done!
