Google’s next Nexus 7 tablet PC, long rumored to make an appearance this summer, is now said to land on shelves with support for the LTE networks of multiple carriers.

The slate, spotted at the FCC yesterday as ASUS K009, also made an appearance over at the Bluetooth SIG, and should pack Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile LTE connectivity, it seems.

The tablet PC packs support for LTE bands 2, 4, 5, 13, and 17, which clearly makes it fit for all of the aforementioned carriers (all three have band 4 AWS LTE spectrum, Verizon has band 13, and AT&T has band 17), Droid-Life notes.

The slate is also said to offer support for AT&T’s GSM bands, GSM 850, and 1900MHz, though it could be compatible with T-Mobile’s network as well, given that the carrier is moving to 1900 for HSPA+.
