Spectrum Used in 521 Commercially Launched LTE and LTE-Advanced Networks
Spectrum Used in 521 Commercially Launched LTE and LTE-Advanced Networks Chart produced by GSA confirming the main spectrum bands which are currently used in 521 commercially launched LTE and LTE-Advanced networks worldwide. Source of data: GSA Evolution to LTE report published July 28, 2016 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 closely by 800 MHz (b20) then AWS (b4) Band 40 is the most commonly used spectrum for LTE TDD deployments. This chart may…
LTE Broadcast (eMBMS) – global status summary of deployments and activities
SNAPSHOT: LTE Broadcast (eMBMS) - global status summary of deployments and activities There is a high level of activity in eMBMS/LTE Broadcast activities globally with traction building across all regions. Several use cases are being developed and trialled, and more are emerging. See the list of all LTE Broadcast system investments (deployments, launches, trials, studies) by 36 operators and broadcasters in this document, which is an extract from the Evolution to LTE report published on July 28, 2016. Complete details per operator are available in the Evolution to LTE report published on July 28, 2016…
SNAPSHOT: LTE TDD (TD-LTE) global status The LTE TDD mode (TD-LTE) for operators with unpaired spectrum is enjoying growth in all regions. 78 operators in 46 countries have commercially launched LTE service using the TDD mode. 23 operators have deployed both FDD and TDD modes in their LTE networks. 2,141 devices i.e. 38.1% of LTE devices support LTE TDD (TD-LTE). Download the list of all 78 commercially launched LTE TDD networks including a summary of the operating frequency bands in this short status document, which is an extract from the Evolution to LTE report published…
LTE1800 global status: network launches, user devices ecosystem
SNAPSHOT: LTE1800 global status: network launches, user devices ecosystem The most widely used spectrum for LTE network deployments is 1800 MHz (3GPP band 3). 246 LTE1800 networks are commercially launched in 110 countries. 1800 MHz is used in over 47% of LTE network deployments and also has the largest user devices ecosystem. Over 57% of LTE user terminals can operate in the 1800 MHz band. Download the list of all 246 commercially launched LTE1800 networks together with the status of the user devices ecosystem in this short document, which is an extract from the Evolution…
