The most widely used spectrum for LTE network deployments is 1800 MHz (3GPP band 3). 192 LTE1800 networks are commercially launched in 92 countries. 1800 MHz is used in 43.4% of LTE network deployments and also has the largest user devices ecosystem. Over 47% of LTE user terminals can operate in the 1800 MHz band. Download the list of all 192 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 October 13, 2015.

SNAPSHOT: LTE1800 status report (GSA - October 13, 2015)
- 1. October 13, 2015 89 Evolution to LTE report 4G MARKET & TECHNOLOGY UPDATE LTE1800: LTE deployments in 1800 MHz band LTE network deployment in 1800 MHz is mainstream. The motivations are clear: • Coverage area approx. 2 times compared to deploying in 2.6 GHz band • Possibility to re-use assets including antenna cables of GSM1800 or WCDMA-HSPA2100 • Possibility to deploy multi-RAN with simultaneous LTE and GSM capabilities • 1800 MHz band widely available throughout Europe, APAC, MEA, regions of South America – thus having the potential to be a core - and global - band for LTE deployments • Operators often have sufficient bandwidth in 1800 MHz to secure the full benefits of LTE • Often easier to re-farm than 900 MHz • User device eco-system is building; a good choice of user devices available by end 2011 • Can be a transition strategy between HSPA and availability of new (e.g. 2.6 GHz, digital dividend) spectrum The LTE1800 Zone on www.gsacom.com provides a vast amount of information about deployment of LTE in 1800 MHz spectrum, including white papers by leading vendors plus updates/presentations from mobile operators, and other resources. Visit the LTE1800 Zone via the banner on www.gsacom.com GSA REPORT: “Embracing the 1800MHz opportunity: Driving mobile forward with LTE in the 1800MHz band” www.gsacom.com/lte1800 The report shows from practical, economic and business perspectives why 1800 MHz emerged as a prime band for LTE deployments in virtually all regions of the world, and its importance for international roaming. Key Findings: http://www.gsacom.com/news/gsa_342.php4 192 commercially launched LTE1800 systems 192 operators have commercially launched LTE1800 (band 3) systems in 92 countries/territories either as a single band or as part of a multi-band deployment. 1800 MHz is the most widely used and prime band for LTE globally, deployed in 43.4% of LTE networks, greatly assisting international roaming for mobile broadband services. More LTE1800 deployments are in progress. 1800 MHz mobile licences have been awarded to 350+ operators in nearly 150 countries.
