The LTE standard covers a range of many different bands, each of which is designated by both a frequency and a band number. In North America, 700, 850, 1900, 1700/2100 (AWS) and 2600 MHz (Rogers Communications, Bell Canada) are used (bands 4, 7, 12, 13, 17, 25, 26, 41); 2500 MHz in South America; 800, 900, 1800, 2600 MHz in Europe(bands 3, 7, 20);[36][37] 1800 and 2600 MHz in Asia (bands 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 11, 13, 40);[38] and 1800 MHz and 2300 MHz in Australia[39][40] and New Zealand (bands 3, 40).[41] As a result, phones from one country may not work in other countries. Users will need a multi-band capable phone for roaming internationally |
