Based on LTE Frequencies - New iPad 3 LTE 4G Tablet is Not for UK, Sweden and More


Is always interesting to follow the latest news about Apple products including the news about the New iPad 4G LTE (you may call it the iPad 3 = iPad number 3). In addition to the claims about its faster than Tegra3 (Quad-Core) processor, the "hot report” is mentioned in various online media, newspapers and TV around the world. It is unclear whether this caused by a processor or by LTE chipset. However, clearly this is the first experience of Apple in making the real 4G device. Technically, the iPad 3 was made and available in 3 version; WiFi only, WiFi + CDMA EVDO + LTE for Verizon) and WiFi + GSM HSDPA (HSPA+) + LTE for AT&T). It would be better if you notice footage of the new iPad 3 specifications based on the support of the broadband network below:


iPad 3 AT&T Version:
Wi-Fi + 4G for AT&T model: 4G LTE (700, 2100 MHz)3; UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)

New iPad 3 Verizon Model:
Wi-Fi + 4G for Verizon model: 4G LTE (700 MHz)3; CDMA EV-DO Rev. A (800, 1900 MHz); UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)

The iPad 3 Verizon models of course can be used anywhere where there are providers that use the same spectrum (if unlocked version). The 3G EVDO on Verizon iPad 3 models of course work for any provider that uses CDMA frequency on 800 or 1900 MHz. The GMS HSDPA HSPA + would also be able to work with any carrier that uses radio frequencies as mentioned above. So also with the new 4G LTE iPad 3, both Verizon and AT&T model. The iPad 3 supports for LTE networks can be obtained where there is a provider that offers 4G LTE services using 700MHz frequency (Verizon model) and 700, 2100MHz (AT & T Model).

This explains why the LTE in the iPad 3 will not work for the UK and Sweden, and not just in those region but also for other countries that do not use 700MHz, 2100MHz for their LTE network. And unfortunately for now, iPad 3 4G LTE is only available in two models. And for now we can only wait for Apple to make another version based on the LTE frequency such as iPad GSM LTE 800MHz, 1800MHz, 2600MHz and beyond.
