I.3 Components

Following are links to the software and hardware that we have found worked for us. Note that
OpenAirInteface has a wiki and mailing lists etc. for support and much more detail. Below we describe what
we found worked for us. We also got timely support from other teams using this software via the mailing
lists.
The trickiest components are the smart phones and it is recommended to get unlocked brand new phones
that have never seen a SIM card or been used for LTE previously on other networks. Introduction of carrier
SIMs can change the configurations permanently by limiting operating bands, accepted network IDs by
geographic region etc. These problems and can make future testing with these phones extremely difficult
and frustrating.
You can program the SIMs yourself however we just bought 10 pre-programmed cards from
www.sysmocom.de. The programming options are shown below:

I.4 SIM card programming

This is how we programmed our 10 SIM cards as purchased from sysmocom.com. However we recommend
getting a programmer and doing it yourself since you may need to vary the network id to work past
restrictions with a phone’s ROM/region locks.
