This is a list of commercial Long-Term Evolution (LTE) networks around the world, grouped by their frequency bands. Some operators utilizing multiple bands, therefore repeated in respective sections.

General information

  • For technical details on LTE and a list of its designated operating frequencies, bands, and their common names, see LTE Frequency bands.
  • Bands 33 to 44 are TD-LTE-Networks.
  • Networks on the global LTE-bands 1, 3, 7, 28 (FDD-LTE) or 38, 40 (TDD-LTE) are capable of future global roaming (ITU Regions 1, 2 and 3).
  • Networks on LTE-band 8 (FDD-LTE) may allow global roaming in the future (ITU Regions 1, 2 and 3) (Long-term perspective).
  • Networks on LTE-band 20 (FDD-LTE) allow roaming in ITU Region 1 (EMEA) only.
  • Networks on LTE-bands 2 and 4 (FDD-LTE) allow roaming in ITU Region 2 (Americas) only.
