The Evolution to LTE report confirms the status of the LTE market worldwide including LTE and LTE-Advanced network deployments (FDD and TDD), commercial service launches, the user devices ecosystem, subscriptions growth, regulatory developments including spectrum allocations, VoLTE, APT700, LTE Broadcast, LTE roaming, and highlights the main industry trends. The report is based on our own research and industry contacts and is our independent assessment and analysis, supported by facts and metrics. 422 LTE networks are now commercially launched in 143 countries. 363 operators deployed FDD mode only 42 operators deployed TDD mode only 17 operators…
Industry support for the APT700 band plan is strong. Whereas APT700 provides both FDD and TDD arrangements, it is the FDD plan that has gained global support from industry and regulators in markets addressing approaching 4 billion people. 42 countries have allocated, committed to, or recommend allocating APT700 FDD (band 28) spectrum for LTE deployments.

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…
