VoIP Gateways

Gateways have become a central complex component in most state-of-the-art VoIP systems. VoIP gateways act as VoIP network translators and mediators. Most importantly, they translate calls placed through the public switched telephone network (PSTN) - the "regular" telephone system - into digital data packets that are compatible with an enterprise's VoIP system. VoIP gateways can also help direct VoIP calls to specific users with the assistance of built-in routing tables.

Additionally, the units can translate between different VoIP protocols, such as H.323 and SIP, enabling compatibility between various VoIP systems and devices. Given all of these benefits, it's easy to see why VoIP gateways are highly recommended for virtually any VoIP implementation, however, this hasn't always been the case.

In VoIP's early days, system designers often "VoIP-enabled" switches and routers to handle key gateway tasks. But as VoIP networks grew larger and more sophisticated, and as end users began demanding higher quality and more reliable service, most designers began specifying standalone VoIP gateways for their systems.

In the enterprisemarket, VoIP gateways come in many different configurations. Buyers can select from products that offer numerous phone, fax machine, PBXand PSTN support capabilities. Additionally, for large enterprises with offices and branch operations spread around the country or world, VoIP gateways provide an effective way to extend and distribute voice communications systems.
