A VOIP gateway is a device which converts telephony traffic into IP for transmission over a data network. They are used in 2 ways: -To convert incoming telephone lines to VOIP -To connect a traditional PBX/Phone system to the IP network
There are several voip providers like vonage , lingo etc. you can purchase that and fix it in your broadband line so that you can dial abroad calling service for free
VOIP voice over internet protocol. I use Skype. VOIP quality has greatly improved the last couple of years. If both parties download their software, you can talk for free pretty much any where in the world. (as long as you have internet access)
VoIP gateway is simply the device that converts fax and voice calls between PSTN and IP networks. The main task of this gateway is compressing, decompressing, packetizing, routing and signaling data.
A VOIP gateway (or PSTN Gateway) is a device which converts telephony traffic into IP for transmission over a data network. They are used in 2 ways: 1. To convert incoming PSTN/telephone lines to VOIP/SIP: In this manner the VOIP gateway allows calls to be received & placed on the regular telephony network. In many business cases, it is preferable to continue to use traditional phone lines because one can guarantee a higher call quality and availability. 2. To connect a traditional PBX/Phone system to the IP network: In this manner the VOIP gateway allows calls to be made via VOIP. Calls can then be placed via a VOIP service provider, or in the case of a company with multiple offices, inter office calls costs can be reduced by routing the calls via the Internet. VOIP gateways are available as external units or as PCI cards. The vast majority of devices are external units. A VOIP gateway will have a connector for the IP network and one or more ports to connect the phone lines to it.
