GSA: APT700 global status – regulatory, deployments, devices
Industry support for the APT700 band plan is strong. Whereas APT700 provides both FDD and TDD spectrum arrangements, it is the FDD plan (3GPP band 28) that has gained global support from industry and regulators in markets addressing around 4 billion people. Dozens of countries have allocated, committed to, or recommend allocating APT700 FDD (band 28) spectrum for LTE deployments around the world, as listed in this status report, which is an extract from the Evolution to LTE report published on January 30, 2017 https://gsacom.com/paper/gsa-evolution-lte-report-january-2017/ 34 operators have commercially launched LTE networks using APT700 band 28…
GSA: LTE1800 Global Status: network launches, user devices ecosystem
The most widely used spectrum for LTE network deployments is 1800 MHz (3GPP band 3). 274 LTE1800 networks are commercially launched in 119 countries. 1800 MHz is used in over 47% of LTE network deployments and also has the largest user devices ecosystem. Over 61% of LTE user terminals can operate in the 1800 MHz band. Download the full list of 274 commercially launched LTE1800 networks together with the status of the user devices ecosystem in this short document, which is an extract from the Evolution to LTE report published on January 30, 2017 https://gsacom.com/paper/gsa-evolution-lte-report-january-2017/…
