[Fragmentation] Global LTE Roaming Is Next To Impossible.


Believe it or not, Android isn’t the only thing that suffers from fragmentation. Good ‘ol LTE is pretty much a god damned mess across the world with as many as 38 different frequencies shuttling 1′s and 0′s to and fro. Take a look at the chart above, published by Wireless Intelligence, which highlights just how much of a task true global LTE roaming will be, if it’s ever attempted. Maybe everyone can get on board with a more universal frequency and spec for 5G, eh?
