Frequency used in each country/region for NB-IoT and/or LTE-M on each continent

[Saketaram]

Hi,

We want to choose which frequencies we should implement on nRF9160 to have the best frequency bands coverage.
Would you have a list of all known frequency band used for each country along with their telco service provider offering this IoT network?

Thank you

Hello,

The nRF9160 supports the following bands:

• Cat-M1: B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B8, B12, B13, B14, B17, B18, B19, B20, B25, B26, B28, B66

• Cat-NB1/NB2: B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B8, B12, B13, B17, B19, B20, B25, B26, B28, B66

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Dear Oyvind,

Do you know where I could find the list of frequencies effectively used in each of G20 country, with the name of the telco provider ? 

We need this as we can not implement matching antenna for all frequencies you show above. Otherwise, our product would be too big. We need to limit ourselves to 2 frequencies.

Best regards,

Hello, 

Currently, the only official list that I find is https://www.gsma.com/iot/deployment-map/ This has an overview of every country and its status on either LTE-M, NB-IoT, or both. Wikipedia also has a list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks

Let me know how that works for you. 

Kind regards,
Øyvind
