Aircard 785 unlocked: Simcard required?

Can the Aircard 785 be used as only a wifi router, without a simcard being installed?

Or is a simcard mandatory for the Aircard 785 to become operational and configurable as a wifi router?

    Hello gids 

     

    How are you going to get internet to the device without the sim card or you just wanting to run it as a local wifi network with no internet?
