Operators worldwide are investing in LTE-Advanced systems and peak speeds are increasing. GSA’s Evolution to LTE report published on 25 January 2016 confirmed that 163 operators i.e. just over one-third, have launched, are deploying, or are trialling LTE-Advanced technologies in 72 countries. This figure includes 116 operators that have commercially launched LTE-Advanced carrier aggregation in 57 countries. It means that 24% of LTE operators have commercially launched LTE-Advanced service.
This status report from GSA summarises the theoretical peak downlink speed for each of the 116 commercially launched LTE-Advanced networks worldwide.
Data is provided on network deployments capable of supporting user devices Category 4 , Category 6, Category 9 and Category 11.
* 116 commercially launched LTE-Advanced CA systems in 57 countries
* 18 systems support UE category 4 devices (up to 150 Mbps theoretical peak downlink)
* 86 systems support Category 6 devices of which 44 support the maximum theoretical peak downlink speed of 300 Mbps. A further 38 additional Category 6 systems are in deployment, trial, or test phase
* 11 systems support Cat 9 devices (up to 450 Mbps theoretical peak downlink). A further 41 Category 9 and beyond systems are in deployment, trial, or test phase
* 1 system supports Cat 11 (up to 600 Mbps theoretical peak downlink)
