the allocation of LTE supplied by telcos here in Malaysia is band 7.. which is 2600 Mhz frequency.. Its the same as Singapore but Singapore also utilize the 1800 MHz frequency as backup.. so far there is no official statement mentioning Malaysia utilizing other than the 2600 MHz spectrum band..
most phones including the iphone 5 and new ipad does not use the 2600 MHz spectrum band.. refer to (http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/).. but note that the 1800 MHz frequncy band is supported with singapore telco..
the latest i heard is the only phone that supports 2600 MHz frequency band is the Nokia Lumia 920 but it requires another software update to enable the LTE capability in Malaysia.. So for now.. LTE in Malaysia does not really impact current LTE capable phones.. because most of LTE phones available now are for outside market..
it is sad though for iphone 5 and the new ipads users that the LTE capability on the devices are useless here in Malaysia unless Apple willing to spennd money on another iphone 5 variant or Malaysia follow singapore by allowing 1800 Mhz band to be used as spare band..
