In Asia, several countries have already implemented LTE networks, providing fast data speeds to their citizens. Japan's NTT Docomo was the first to launch LTE in June 2010.
Some of the countries with LTE networks in Asia include Japan, South Korea, China, Singapore, and Indonesia. These countries have invested heavily in building out their LTE infrastructure.
In Japan, KDDI and SoftBank also offer LTE services, in addition to NTT Docomo. This means that Japanese consumers have a choice of three major carriers for their LTE needs.
In South Korea, KT Corp, SK Telecom, and LG U+ all offer LTE services, giving Korean consumers a range of options.

LTE Networks in Asia
The list of LTE networks in Asia is quite extensive, and it's worth noting that some operators use multiple frequency bands.
This list is grouped by frequency bands, which can be a bit confusing, but it's helpful for understanding the different networks and their capabilities.
Some operators are listed multiple times in the respective sections, which is a result of using multiple frequency bands.
This list does not imply that these networks are widespread or have national coverage, so it's essential to check the specific details for each operator.
The LTE Directory is a comprehensive resource that provides a list of commercial LTE networks around the world, grouped by frequency bands.
This directory is similar to the list of LTE networks in Asia, but it covers a broader geographic area and includes networks from multiple regions.
List of Carriers
In Asia, several carriers offer LTE networks. Let's take a look at some of them.
3 (Tri) uses 2 frequency bands, which is relatively fewer compared to some other carriers.
Bolt, on the other hand, uses only 1 frequency band.
Indosat is one of the carriers with a wider range of frequency bands, using a total of 4.
Smartfren also uses 2 frequency bands for its LTE network.
Telkomsel has the most frequency bands among the carriers listed, with a total of 7.
XL Axiata uses 5 frequency bands for its LTE network.
Here's a list of some of the carriers mentioned, along with the number of frequency bands they use:
