00:00:00,870 --> 00:00:07,260
When we want to launch a fleet of devices in the IoT world, we first think of operators and subscriptions.

2
00:00:07,770 --> 00:00:14,040
But in LoRaWAN, things are different because the frequencies use all over the world are free bands.
2

3
00:00:14,430 --> 00:00:16,740
It means that everyone can use them.
3

4
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:26,030
This frequency in Europe is 868 megahertz, but in other region, in the US, for example, it's 915
4

5
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:26,940
megahertz.
5

6
00:00:27,180 --> 00:00:31,050
Or in China it's 470 megahertz and so on.
6

7
00:00:31,980 --> 00:00:36,870
There are now ten frequency bands that covers almost all the different regions of the world.
7

8
00:00:37,260 --> 00:00:43,190
So in the Lorawan specification, we have to refer to the document called regional parameters.
8

9
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,530
If you want to know the frequency band used for a specific region.
9

10
00:00:47,340 --> 00:00:53,760
So as anyone can use the lorawan bands, they won't be only operators to provide lorawan connectivity.
10

11
00:00:54,210 --> 00:00:58,950
Actually, there are many different architecture that we're going to see in the next video.
11

12
00:00:59,460 --> 00:01:07,110
There will be public operators network, private network, hybrid network and finally community network.
12

13
00:01:07,380 --> 00:01:12,870
All we need to know are the advantages and disadvantages of all these architectures so we can choose
13

14
00:01:12,870 --> 00:01:15,300
the best solution for our use case.
14

15
00:01:15,780 --> 00:01:19,290
So let's dive into the details of the first architecture.
