C819 LTE for Mexico

Karel Vins · ‎03-18-2015

Hi,

I'm trying to find out if any of LTE versions of C819 can work in Mexico.

I don't need LTE connectivity, 3G is sufficient. I only need to use 4G HW version because of build in external antennas in a vehicle.

Any idea?

Thanks.

Unfortunately, I'm afraid to trust only data sheets so I'm looking for some tested deployment.

From wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mobile_network_operators_of_the_Americas#Mexico it looks like these bands are used:

850/1900 MHz UMTS, HSDPA, HSPA+
1700 MHz LTE

So the "A" model should work with 3G networks:

C819HG-4G-A-K9 and C819G-4G-A-K9: Multimode LTE for AT&T (700MHz band 17 and band 4); multimode C819 is backward-compatible with Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service (UMTS), high-speed packet access plus (HSPA+): 850, 1900, and 2100 MHz

It looks like LTE band will not be compatible, so I cannot use LTE in the future.

Am I right?

Thanks.
