List of LTE networks in Asia
This is a list of commercial Long-Term Evolution networks in Asia, 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.
