10. What is a VoIP Gateway? |

A gateway is a device or software programme that provides a proxy or intermediary between two systems with incompatible technologies.
One type of gateways is a SIP to PSTN gateway that is normally used to route the SIP calls to PSTN or vice versa. This will allow calls made from an IP device, such as an IP phones or IP PBX, to be routed to PSTN. This type of gateway serves as an interfacing medium between SIP and PSTN. SIP is one of the most commonly used protocols for VoIP calls.
Other types of gateways, such as our Quintum Tenor station gateways, can be used to interface between analogue phones or other analogue devices to VoIP networks. |
