A VoIP analog telephone adapter (ATA) is a networking device that converts a traditional (legacy) phone signal (analog or digital) into a (digitized) packet-based, Internet Protocol (IP) communication stream.
The gateway serves as the conversion point between Time Division Multiplexed (TDM) telephone network and an IP-based network such as the Internet or private corporate LAN or WAN.
VoIP Gateways can support numerous use cases (application scenarios) to enable IP telephony implementations. A media gateway may provide several types of bi-directional conversion, including SIP-to-TDM and TDM-to-SIP. Some high-end Voip Gateways may even provide such session border controller (SBC) functions as transcoding, security firewall, failover, and others.
Typical VoIP Gateway Applications
VoIP media gateways can be used to address many different challenges when implementing an IP-based voice system. Three of the most common use cases are summarized below.
