SPECTRUM: Spectrum Used in Commercially Launched LTE Networks
Chart produced by GSA confirming the main spectrum bands which are currently used in 422 commercially launched LTE networks worldwide. Source of data: GSA Evolution to LTE report published July 21, 2015 1800 MHz (b3) is the most widely used contiguous band in 4G/LTE commercially launched systems deployments worldwide. The second most popular contiguous band is 2.6 GHz (b7), followed by 800 MHz (b20) then AWS (b4) Band 40 is the most commonly used spectrum for TDD deployments This chart may also be downloaded as a JPEG or PDF file, together with other maps and…

Operators worldwide are investing in LTE-Advanced systems and peak speeds are increasing. GSA's Evolution to LTE report published on 21 July 2015 confirmed that 131 operators i.e. over 30% of LTE operators, have launched, or are deploying or are trialling LTE-Advanced technologies in 60 countries. This figure includes 88 operators that have commercially launched LTE-Advanced carrier aggregation in 45 countries. This paper from GSA summarises the theoretical peak downlink speed for each of the commercially launched LTE-Advanced networks worldwide, according to research by GSA. Data is provided on networks deployments capable of supporting user devices…
