Nuand LLC

Nuand LLC specializes in open-source software-defined radio (SDR) hardware and firmware, focusing on the bladeRF family of wide-bandwidth, USB 3.0 transceivers that enable engineers, researchers, and wireless enthusiasts to transmit and receive signals from 47 MHz to 6 GHz. Typical use cases span 5G prototyping, LTE survey, GNSS simulation, spectrum monitoring, RF security auditing, ham radio experimentation, and academic teaching labs where customizable PHY-layer access is essential. The bladeRF codebase provides host-side libraries, FPGA images, command-line utilities, and sample applications that expose low-level control of gain, frequency, bandwidth, and sampling rate, while supporting popular frameworks such as GNU Radio, Osmocom, and MATLAB. Because the repository is fully open, developers can compile bespoke images for FPGA gateware tweaks, real-time signal processing, or integration into headless embedded systems, making the platform attractive for rapid over-the-air prototyping, drone-based RF mapping, and citizen-science satellite tracking. Drivers and utilities are cross-platform, allowing consistent operation on Windows workstations, Linux servers, and macOS laptops used in field measurements. Nuand bladeRF source code, along with pre-built Windows binaries, is available for free on get.nero.com; downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package channels such as winget, always installing the latest upstream commit, and the catalog supports batch installation alongside complementary SDR tools.
