List of LTE networks
Wikimedia list article
This is a list of commercial Long-Term Evolution (LTE) networks around the world, grouped by their frequency bands.
Some operators use multiple bands and are therefore listed multiple times in respective sections.
General information
For technical details on LTE and a list of its designated operating frequencies, bands, and roaming possibilities, see LTE frequency bands.
Bands 33 to 53 are assigned to TDD-LTE.
Note: This list of network deployments does not imply any widespread deployment or national coverage.
Africa
See List of LTE networks in Africa.
Americas
Caribbean
French Overseas Territories (CEPT band plan)
Central America, South America and Mexico (APT band plan)
Belize, Bolivia, Canada (FCC band plan)
Canada: Bell Network Availability within Tier 3 License Areas
United States and US Territories (FCC band plan)
Apart from their main spectrum holdings across large regions in the country (listed below) the major US carriers (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile & Verizon) also hold various Cellular Market Area (CMA) and/or Economic Area (EA) licenses for the AWS 1700 band, as well as Major Trading Area (MTA) and/or Basic Trading Area (BTA) licenses for the PCS 1900 band. In several small regional areas the named operators combine these with their major spectrum holdings to increase the bandwidth for their LTE deployments. Due to the large amount of these "single" licenses they are not listed here.

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “List of LTE networks” is wikimedia list article. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through List, networks and Wikimedia, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “wikimedia list article” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1863711. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1700 and 1900.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
