Does anyone from T-Mobile look at this community forum? If so, please drop some much needed public docs on LTE-M bands. ...and please keep rolling out more LTE-M tower radios that hit more bands ;)
drnewcomb and formercanuck are partially correct, but don’t answer the orginal question.Cat-M1 uses 1.4MHz channel bandwidth, fixed in the 3GPP spec Not every LTE band a carrier offers can use Cat-M1, as carriers only use a specific subset of their LTE bands for use with this AT (Access Technology). For example: AT&T publicly documents it uses these LTE bands: 2, 4, 5, 12, 14, 17, 29, 30, 66 and the LTE-M bands supported are only 2, 4, 12 I’m on the phone with T-Mobile support now to get some truth about which LTE-M bands are in use in North America. They have responded that they only have this map available to spot check a specific address...which doesn’t answer the much desired question, but does show if you expand the details that band 12 is used for LTE-M (Cat-M1). It’s common that a carrier will only use a single band and that single band be a low frequency band so the IoT device has the best chance possible to reach home out of difficult cellular situations.
