Apple has confirmed that while international iPads won't work on LTE networks in Europe they will work on AT&T if brought to the United States, reports the Verge.
iPads sold internationally will be able to connect to AT&Ts LTE network when in the US with the appropriate SIM and plan.
The AT&T iPad runs on 700MHz and 2.1GHz bands. Unfortunately, most LTE networks in Europe run on either the 800MHz or 2.6GHz band.

@dt, in Sweden samsung has a LTE/4g pad that supports LTE on 2600/1800/800 MHz ,we also have samsung LTE phones on the market , so chipsets exist!
So it's a shame that Apple didn't have the European 4g market in mind at the new IPad release, 4g enanbled android pad's Will take market shares for sure......

What about Verizon iPads...will they work at all in Europe which is GSM.
Don't see the point of quad-bands and so forth if it won't work in Europe. WTF
