We said that during this lecture, at least up to now, we've used a hybrid network because we use our own
1

2
00:00:06,990 --> 00:00:10,870
gateway, but the network server doesn't belong to us.
2

3
00:00:10,890 --> 00:00:11,700
Great.
3

4
00:00:11,700 --> 00:00:15,930
But actually the TTN networks server provides a little bit more.
4

5
00:00:16,110 --> 00:00:20,130
It also provides network coverage in addition to my own coverage.
5

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:26,580
It means that I can, of course, benefit from my gateway coverage, but I can also benefit from all
6

7
00:00:26,580 --> 00:00:29,250
of the gateway registered on this network server.
7

8
00:00:30,060 --> 00:00:32,730
This is called a community network.
8

9
00:00:33,210 --> 00:00:38,060
The more user they are in the community, the more coverage there is for everyone.
9

10
00:00:38,070 --> 00:00:40,380
And sometimes it's even free.
10

11
00:00:42,390 --> 00:00:46,890
If we come back to the Alliance website, then we can select the area, 
11

12
00:00:46,890 --> 00:00:47,730
we're interested in.
12

13
00:00:50,340 --> 00:00:55,830
And for example, in France, there is two community network available so far.
13

14
00:00:56,370 --> 00:01:01,020
And if you register on this instance, then you will know the coverage you can expect.
14

15
00:01:02,370 --> 00:01:10,470
So now that we know everything about network type, public private, hybrid community, then we'll see
15

16
00:01:10,470 --> 00:01:16,560
that whatever type of network the user will need to use, a loved one network is always the same.
16

17
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:23,010
So in the next video, we'll try to provide a clear explanation on the network configuration.
