A VoIP gateway
is one of the components required when implementing a VoIP
system. As the name suggests, a VoIP gateway is a device that
processes the incoming or outgoing voice data. A VoIP
gateway connects to a PBX (and to the data network) by way of an
Ethernet or WAN interface. A VoIP gateway can be either an analog or
a digital device, depending on the requirements of the
particular system. VoIP gateways are available as either a
module within a router or as a separate dedicated device.
For outgoing voice data, the function of the gateway
is to convert the voice data received from the PBX into
IP packets suitable for transmission over a data
network. Similarly, for incoming voice data, the gateway
assembles the stream of incoming IP data packets into a
form that can be used by the PBX system.
