What is a gateway?
A gateway makes it possible for systems on an IP network to connect to systems using ISDN.
A Gateway is used when:
• enterprises using IP for internal communications want to communicate with other external enterprises that are using ISDN
• an enterprise is moving from an ISDN to IP environment or uses a combination of ISDN and IP internally
• the enterprise wants to leverage an existing IP network to make global calls via ISDN
• IP video callers would like to bypass the public Internet when calling other IP systems
Advantages using a Gateway
There are many advantages to using a gateway. These include easier dialing, higher reliability, better quality video calls and better utilization of infrastructure. When using a gateway, users don't have to dial special codes or numbers when they want to connect with people who use other types of networks.
