XT1527/XT1528 bands

Compiled from FCC information and Wikipedia for two of the Moto E LTE models:



FCC ID IHDT56QC8 (XT1528) -

This LTE transceiver supports high-speed wireless data communications within LTE Bands 2, 4, 5, and 13, with channels up to 20 MHz in bandwidth.



FCC ID IHDT56QC7 (XT1527) -

This LTE transceiver supports high-speed wireless data communications within LTE Bands 2, 4, 5, 12, 17, 25, 26, and 41, with channels up to 20 MHz in bandwidth.



From Wikipedia:

• 2 = 1900Mhz (PCS)


• 4 = 1700Mhz (AWS)


• 5 = 850 (Cellular?)


• 12 = 700 a


• 13 = 700 c


• 17 = 700 b


• 25 = 1900 g


• 26 = 850 (SMR?)


• 41 = 2500 (old WiMax)

So, the Verizon model (1528) will technically support LTE on AT&T and T-Mobile bands 2 & 4. It has all three Verizon LTE bands (obviously) - 2, 4, 13. You would be missing LTE on AT&T band 17 and LTE on T-Mobile band 12.



The other model (1527) will support LTE on AT&T in 2, 4, and 17. Will support Sprint on 2, 25, 26, and 41. Will support T-Mobile on 2, 4, and 12. Technically it might also support Verizon on 2 and 4. (Verizon is currently using 4 as part of XLTE in certain markets, and I don't know if think are running LTE on 2 at all. )



It appears that the 1527 model is the better one to get for band coverage, unless you want Verizon LTE on band 13.
