## Channel setup

Currently KPN’s network supports the 16 channels in Table 1. When configuring devices, customers must make sure they support at least the first 3 LoRaWAN default frequencies and enable ADR, because the other channels will be added dynamically and could vary for each region.

Within the EU and US, one chipset can be used to support the 868 and 900 MHz LoRaWAN frequencies. As frequencies differ, a different antenna should be used.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.kpnthings.com/kpn-things/kpn-lora/technical-information/geographical-coverage-and-channel-setup.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
