You can use Airtool 2 to capture Wi-Fi traffic using an Oscium Nomad. The Nomad is a portable, battery-powered Wi-Fi measurement device, built by Oscium to facilitate efficient and precise site surveys with Hamina Onsite.
The Nomad is equipped with four Wi-Fi 6E radios, allowing simultaneous traffic capture on up to four channels across the 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands when used with Airtool 2.
Regulatory domain restrictions and other factors determine which channels are available for capturing.
All Airtool 2 features—including automatic frame slicing, capture size limits, file rotation, and live captures—are fully supported when using the Nomad, just as they are with the built-in Wi-Fi adapter.

Follow these steps to capture Wi-Fi traffic on one or more simultaneous channels using the Nomad:
- Connect the Nomad to your Mac.
- Wait a few seconds for the Nomad to initialize and become ready for capturing.
- Open the Airtool 2 menu and choose Oscium Nomad….
- Select and configure the channel and channel width for each channel you want to capture.
- Click Start Capture to begin.
