## Spectrum 2 frontends and backends
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Spectrum 2 supports multiple IM networks. Spectrum 2 distinguishes between **Frontend** and **Backend** networks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If some network is supported as **Frontend**, it means that Spectrum 2 allows its users to use this network to communicate with other users using the **backend** network.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you for example use **Slack** as a frontend and **IRC** as a backend, the Spectrum 2 users can add Spectrum 2 to their Slack team, join the IRC network and communicate with their friends on IRC network.
