I've been trying to figure out which LTE modem I will need in Colombia but I'm quite confused by some of the information I've been reading.

There are several LTE operators here which as I understand it operate LTE on either AWS/Band 4 (1700MHz) or Band 7 (which most of the websites here report as 2500MHz but some report it as 2600MHz).

For those operators on 1700MHz, I would go for the PLS8-US modem which would be the safest option.

My confusion relates to Band 7. 2500MHz is not listed in the PLS8 data sheet however it does list Band 7 and 2600MHz for the PLS8-E modem. Would you expect the PLS8-E to work with these operators?

I would prefer to go for the PLS8-E modem (if compatible here) as it would also be the best choice for if/when I return to Europe. Band 7 is also the band offered by the operator that offers the best TV package here (for football) which would be appealing should I at some stage want to go for a quadruple play (convergence of services) solution.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
