title: Creating a local CDMA or GSM network?
body: <p>I am developing a number of different mobile applications for a number of different mobile devices and I want to quickly test in a local development environment. I was wondering if it is possible (with some sort of hardware) to set up a local desktop CDMA / GSM base station for testing devices over a local personal cellular network. The range does not have to be very far. The alternative is purchasing a SIM card and plans for various carriers but not all carriers/network types are available in our area.</p>
  
  <p>I'm sure I had seen some sort of desktop device that would let you setup local networks for development/testing purposes but can't seem to find it.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.  </p>
