bands of LTE and the channel bandwidths each band supports. Superseded bands are indicated by a grey background.

Deployments by region
The following table shows the standardized LTE bands and their regional use. The main LTE bands are in bold print. Frequency bands for which future deployment
and use is very unlikely are initalic print.

Networks on LTE bands 7, 28 (LTE-FDD) are suitable for global roaming inITU Regions 1, 2 and 3.
Networks on LTE bands 1, 3 (LTE-FDD) are suitable for roaming in ITU Regions 1 an d 3, Costa Rica and Brazil and partially in some
Caribbean countries.
Networks on LTE band 20 (LTE-FDD) are suitable for roaming in ITU Region 1 only
.
Networks on LTE band 5 (LTE-FDD) are suitable for roaming in ITU Regions 2 and 3.
Networks on LTE bands 38, 40 (LTE-TDD) may allow global roaming in the future (ITU Re
gions 1, 2 and 3).
Networks on LTE band 8 (LTE-FDD) may allow global roaming in the future (ITU Regions1, 2 and 3).
Networks on LTE bands 2 and 4 (LTE-FDD) are suitable for roaming in ITU Region 2 (Americas) only.

2. Downlink frequency range 2180 – 2200 MHz is restricted for use as intra-band Supplemental Downlink.
3. Duplex spacing depends on whether the Uplink is paired with the lower or the upper part of the Downlink, with the remainder of the Downlink
available for use as intra-band Supplemental Downlink.
