Lutris Wireless Launches NOMAD: Revolutionary Passive LTE/5G Network Signal Analyzer for Cellular Network Optimization

Innovative SIM-free solution enables real-time debugging and performance optimization without network association

Barcelona – March 2, 2026 – Lutris Wireless, an innovative provider of wireless network testing solutions, today announced the launch of NOMAD, a breakthrough passive LTE/5G network protocol signal analyzer designed to revolutionize cellular network debugging and performance optimization. The innovative device operates without requiring a SIM card or network association, providing network operators with unprecedented visibility into their wireless infrastructure performance.

Game-Changing Passive Analysis Technology

The Lutris Wireless NOMAD represents a significant advancement in cellular network testing methodology. Unlike traditional network analyzers that require active network participation, NOMAD passively receives and decodes LTE/5G over-the-air signals, enabling comprehensive network analysis without impacting live network operations or requiring carrier partnerships.

"NOMAD addresses a critical gap in the cellular network testing market by providing operators with the ability to analyze network performance from the outside looking in," said James Martin, CEO and Co-founder at Lutris Wireless. "This passive approach allows for more accurate real-world performance assessment while eliminating the complexity and limitations associated with SIM-based testing solutions."

Cost-Effective, Scalable Architecture

NOMAD leverages a streamlined hardware and software architecture to deliver enterprise-grade network analysis at an accessible price point. The system consists of a low-cost, off-the-shelf Software Defined Radio (SDR) capable of capturing raw cellular signals across a comprehensive 70MHz to 6GHz frequency band. The captured data is processed by advanced signal analysis software and stored in a time series database running on a standard laptop, making deployment simple and cost-effective for network operators of all sizes.

Comprehensive Real-Time Network Intelligence

NOMAD delivers an extensive suite of analytical capabilities designed to provide complete visibility into cellular network operations:

Advanced Interference Management

  • Measures signal strength and airtime utilization for both in-network and out-of-network clients and base stations

  • Performs TDD schedule detection from nearby networks to identify potential interference sources

  • Provides detailed interference analysis to optimize spectrum efficiency

Proactive Network Anomaly Detection

  • Monitors handover processes, network reconfigurations, and client connection failures

  • Identifies network performance issues before they impact user experience

  • Enables predictive maintenance and optimization strategies

Comprehensive Device and Infrastructure Monitoring

  • Client Monitoring: Tracks connection statistics, transmission power levels, buffer sizes, and achieved throughput for individual devices

  • Base Station Analysis: Measures total spectral efficiency, aggregate throughput across all connected devices, and identifies sub-optimal configurations and client scheduling inefficiencies

  • Multi-Band Scanning: Discovers base station identifiers and configurations across multiple frequency bands

Enterprise-Grade Data Management and Analytics

  • Continuous Logging: Provides indefinite message and statistics logging capabilities for comprehensive historical analysis

  • Scalable Data Aggregation: Processes and correlates data from multiple networks while maintaining granular visibility down to individual device performance

  • Traffic Classification: Differentiates between IoT devices, 2-way fixed users, and mobile users to optimize network resource allocation

Addressing Critical Network Operator Challenges

As mobile networks become increasingly complex with the deployment of 5G technology and growing IoT device proliferation, network operators face mounting pressure to deliver consistent, high-performance connectivity across diverse use cases. NOMAD's comprehensive monitoring and analysis capabilities provide the visibility and analytical depth necessary to:

  • Identify and resolve network performance bottlenecks through detailed client and base station monitoring

  • Validate network deployment configurations and detect sub-optimal settings

  • Troubleshoot connectivity issues without service disruption using passive monitoring

  • Optimize spectrum efficiency through advanced interference detection and management

  • Ensure reliable service delivery across diverse traffic types, from IoT sensors to high-bandwidth mobile applications

  • Maintain historical performance records for trend analysis and capacity planning

  • Scale monitoring operations from individual devices to entire network infrastructures
