Updated Review of Kompakt 4G/LTE vs. T-Mobile USA
My earlier post titled “Kompakt 4G/LTE vs. USA, Canada, Germany, UK, and India” listed T-Mobile USA 4G/LTE bands as 2, 4, 5, 12, 66, and 71. I found today on Wikipedia a larger set of T-Mobile USA 4G/LTE bands: 2, 4, 5, 12, 13, 25, 26, 41, 46, 48, 66, 71.
Assuming that Wikipedia has the latest information, here with underlining emphasis are those T-Mobile USA bands that match the 4G/LTE bands supported by the ‘North-America optimized’ version of the Kompakt (2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 18, 19, 26, 34, 38, 39, 40, 41, 71).
- T-Mobile USA: 2, 4, 5, 12, 13, 25, 26, 41, 46, 48, 66, 71
Out of curiosity, here with underlining emphasis are those T-Mobile USA bands that match the 4G/LTE bands supported by the ‘Global optimized’ version of the Kompakt (1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20, 26, 34, 38, 39, 40, 41).
- T-Mobile USA: 2, 4, 5, 12, 13, 25, 26, 41, 46, 48, 66, 71
Conclusions:
- ‘North-America optimized’ version of the Kompakt supports eight 4G/LTE bands on T-Mobile USA: 2, 4, 5, 12, 13 26, 41, 71.
- ‘Global optimized’ version of the Kompakt supports five 4G/LTE bands on T-Mobile USA: 5, 12, 13, 26, 41.
- If one ignores T-Mobile USA’s band 13, which Wikipedia says is limited to Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands, then the ‘North-America optimized’ version supports seven bands, and the ‘Global optimized’ version supports four bands, used by T-Mobile USA.
