LTE coverage ratio & speed of domestic telecommunications carriers are seen worldwide, the circumstances of the LTE mobile phone network in the world looks like this

ByChris Halderman

If you are using smartphones of the three major communication carriers such as docomo · au · Softbank in Japan, almost every area in the urban area is covered by the LTE communication network and switching to 3G is fewer . In the world, the LTE coverage rate is increasing, and in some countries it is possible to use a high-speed LTE communication network of 30 Mbps or more, but in applications that measure / display 3 G · LTE · Wi-Fi area "OpenSignalAnalyzes the anonymous data collected from the application and clarifies the "circumstances of the world LTE mobile phone network" including Japan.

◆ LTE Coverage Rate & Speed ​​Spectrum
The following figure shows LTE speed of the world in the vertical direction and LTE cover rate side by side based on anonymous data of three months from 2015 June to August measured by users all over the world. Each colored point represents a communication carrier, and as the point is attached to the upper right, both the speed and the cover rate are excellent, and conversely, when it goes to the lower left, the LTE situation is not so good .


The fastest LTE speed in the world is due to Singapore's telecommunications carrier "StarHub". The LTE descending speed is 38 Mbps and the explosion speed is high, and the coverage rate boasts as much as 77%. In Singapore, all three major carriers including StarHub are located on the upper right, and it seems that the development of the LTE environment is progressing throughout the country.


It is the Korean telecommunications carrier that the world's most LTE coverage rate is highLG TelecomSo, we have achieved 100% coverage. The LTE speed of Korea's three major carriers has remained at only 26 to 34 Mbps, but in both cases the cover rate is over 96%, so that LTE can be used in almost all areas.


In addition, it is possible to select only the countries and communication carriers that you want to display from the lower right of the figure, and it is like this if you display only Japanese communication carriers. Even in the world, domestic communication carriers have a very excellent LTE coverage rate, but the LTE communication speed is higher than that in the US and Europe, but the average level is not at the top level. The fastest communication carrier in Japan is 20 Mbps of Softbank, then KDDI is 14 Mbps, NTT DoCoMo is 12 Mbps. The top coverage ratio was 94% of KDDI, NTT docomo followed 91%, Softbank followed 80%.


Comparison of LTE coverage ratio
Although the LTE coverage rate varies from carrier to carrier even in the same country, the chart comparing the coverage ratios of the communication carriers deployed by country is integrated. Then, the world is ranked No. 1 in Korea which boasts LTE coverage rate of 97%, while Japan ranks second in coverage rate 90%. The World Worst 3 is from Sri Lanka (38%), Ecuador (39%), Philippines (39%) from behind.


In the figure comparing LTE coverage ratios of communication carriers in each country, it is the result that Korea occupies the world's top 3. The LTE coverage rate of KDDI was the fourth largest in the world.


◆ LTE Speed ​​Comparison
In the figure comparing the average value of the LTE communication speed deployed for each country, the first ranking is New Zealand with downward 36 Mbps, the second ranking is Singapore with downward 33 Mbps, and the third place is Romania with down 30 Mbps. In New Zealand, which is said to have more sheep population than the population, it seems that fewer users are playing a part, but every country has explosive speed. The average in Japan is down 14 Mbps, so expectations will be expected for future improvement. Iran (3 Mbps) from the back, Costa Rica (3 Mbps), Pakistan (4 Mbps) in the worst 3.


Compared to carriers, 1st place is Singapore's StarHub (38 Mbps), 2nd place is Romania's Vodafone (36 Mbps), 3rd place is Denmark's TDC (35 Mbps).


Comparison of LTE vs. Wi-Fi Speed
Below is a comparison of the download speed of Wi-Fi · 2G · 3G · LTE worldwide. What is the fastest is 12.6 Mbps LTE and Wi-Fi is only 5 Mbps, which means that if you connect to a mobile communication network you can communicate the world fastest without using a fixed Wi-Fi spot. In North America and East Asia, if you are at home or office Wi-Fi, you may be able to deliver speeds of 50 Mbps or faster, but all numbers such as free low-speed Wi-Fi spots offered at coffee shops etc. It is because it is included.
