Where to start
| Chapter | Use it when |
|---|---|
| SIM Card Setup | You have a device and a SIM card and you want it on the network. Start here. |
| Configuration Parameters | You need to know what an individual lte config parameter does and which values it accepts. |
| Network Requirements | You are evaluating a network or an operator you have not used before, or you need to send a requirements checklist to a provider. |
| Vodafone SIM EU28+2 | You use a HARDWARIO Vodafone SIM card and need the PLMN ID or APN for a specific country. |
| Diagnostics and Troubleshooting | The device will not register and you need to see which networks are actually available at the site. |
SIM cards
At HARDWARIO, we do not restrict customers to any particular SIM card provider, as long as the selected carrier offers one of the supported cellular technologies. For SIM cards provided by HARDWARIO, we can offer an extended level of technical support.
We can currently deliver SIM cards for these two carriers:
- Vodafone in European countries.
- 1NCE for other providers in non-European countries.
caution
We only support the Nano-SIM form factor (4FF) for plastic SIM cards. Alternatively, HARDWARIO can provide a SIM chip variant (MFF2) for bulk orders.
