What TamoSoft does

TamoSoft is a privately held, New Zealand–incorporated (Christchurch) software vendor founded in 1998 that develops network monitoring, packet analysis, and RF planning tools for wired and wireless LANs, with a recent extension into private 4G/5G cellular network design. Its commercial product suite is anchored by TamoGraph Site Survey (wireless site survey and RF modeling, with Wi-Fi 7/802.11be and 5G NR support), CommView and CommView for WiFi (wired and 802.11 packet analyzers), TamoGraph LTE and 5G Edition (private cellular network design, out of beta in February 2026), and Throughput Test, with add-ons CommView Remote Agent and CommView Remote Agent for WiFi enabling distributed encrypted capture. Differentiated technical assets include proprietary RF monitoring drivers that allow supported third-party wireless adapters to operate in monitor/promiscuous mode, an integrated VoIP analysis engine with MOS/R-Factor scoring, and broad cross-vendor adapter support across Intel, ASUS, NETGEAR, TP-Link, D-Link, and Alfa Networks hardware on Windows and macOS.

TamoSoft sells primarily direct-to-consumer through tamos.com and three localized storefronts (Germany, Japan, South Korea), supported by a worldwide reseller partner network and dedicated programs for government/law enforcement (20% discount, NCAGE/D-U-N-S registered) and academic buyers (30% discount). The base revenue model is one-time perpetual licensing priced between $39 and $799 per seat (volume and tier upgrades available), with optional multi-year priority support contracts providing a recurring overlay and discounted upgrade pricing for existing customers. Notable named customers include Motorola, Nokia, Ericsson, Cisco, Siemens, Lucent Technologies, Nortel Networks, Unisys, UBS, Dresdner Bank AG, Olympus, and General Electric, with stated reach across more than 100 countries, although no disclosed revenue, headcount, or financials are provided.

The company operates with no external funding history, no disclosed leadership team, and no LinkedIn presence, consistent with a lean, bootstrapped organization. Active product investment is evidenced by three launches between November 2025 and April 2026 (LTE/5G beta, LTE/5G GA, Site Survey 8.4), Wi-Fi 7 adapter certifications across multiple silicon vendors, and a marketing footprint that spans tamos.com documentation, YouTube, RSS feeds, and email newsletters. Distribution exclusions are limited to US/EU/NZ-sanctioned jurisdictions (Russia, Syria).
