Nomad is a mobile, tactical computer with a keyboard, touchscreen, powerful ARM processor LoRa, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth multi-radio capabilities, and accessible GPIO for peripheral expansion.
Today, SpecFive announced the launch of its latest tactical computing product, Nomad, a portable LoRa-powered handheld with 4GB of RAM, expandable storage, and a powerful multi-core ARM processor. Nomad is designed for adventurers, field engineers, first responders, and professionals requiring secure off-grid communications. Building on the success of the SpecFive Ranger, Nomad combines long-range 915 MHz LoRa point-to-point and mesh connectivity with powerful Linux-based computing, all packaged into a user-friendly, portable device.
“Nomad is the ultimate tool for off-grid communications and computing,” said Amir Husain, Chairman of SpecFive. “We’ve integrated LoRa radio and pre-configured ready-to-go Meshtastic software into a Linux platform that opens up endless remote operations and long-range networking possibilities. Nomad is a game changer for everything from software-defined radio (SDR), drone detection, secure comms, IoT sensor analysis, and scientific computing in the field.”
Key features include a high-resolution touchscreen, an integrated keyboard, and a 10,000 mAh battery for extended use. Nomad also offers accessible LAN and USB ports, exposed GPIO pins, and a multi-purpose kickstand—making it ideal for both on-the-go and stationary applications. Its versatility allows field operations and the integration of custom Python scripts for advanced data analysis, visualization, and networking.
Robert Theiss, radio communications expert, digital creator, and Founder of the YouTube channel Digital Rancher said,
“SpecFive has a reputation of producing products that are very well designed and engineered. The new Nomad will be a game-changer in remote areas because it’s a compact system that combines long-range communication with robust computing. That’s a really useful combination for a lot of people!”
The SpecFive Nomad is available for $399.99 on the company’s online store. SpecFive offers free shipping within the United States for orders placed directly on its website. Nomad is also available on other e-commerce platforms including Amazon, Tindie, and Etsy. The product qualifies for additional discounts for bulk purchases.
