4G Frequency Band Introduction and Regional Division

4G is a wireless communication standard that provides high-speed internet access over wireless networks. It is an improvement over 3G technology and offers faster download and upload speeds, better data transfer rates, and improved network.

In North America and South America, the most commonly used 4G frequency bands are 700 MHz, 850 MHz, 1700 MHz, 1900 MHz, and 2100 MHz. 

In Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, the most commonly used bands are 800 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, and 2600 MHz. 

In Asia, the most commonly used bands are 800 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, and 2600 MHz.

Different frequency bands have different characteristics, and the choice of band depends on factors such as the availability of spectrum, the population density of the region, and the cost of equipment. The availability of frequency bands also varies by region, with some bands being more widely available in certain regions than others.

According to a 2021 report by SpeedChecker, South Korea, Japan, Norway, Hong Kong, the United States, the Netherlands, and Taiwan have the highest 4G LTE penetration rates above 90%. This can be attributed to factors such as high investment in infrastructure, favorable regulatory policies, and the availability of spectrum. As the demand for high-speed internet access continues to grow, the adoption of 4G technology is likely to continue to increase, particularly in developing regions where internet connectivity is still limited.
