Voip - please explain

Can anyone explain what a VoIP gateway is? I know the VoIP is voice over ip but i'd like to know what and how the gateway achieves this. Is anyone using the system yet? I'm just working on site for a company whose business it is but they're not very organized and don't seem to be able to explain anything to me.

A gateway is something that lets you go from one communications medium to another. In the case of the VOIP gateway, it converts voice into a digital format that may then be sent over the internet and vice versa. Basically, you need it if you want to have a VOIP setup but want to use telephones to do your voice communication rather than a computer with a headset/mic. You'll see these in the form of those Linksys devices that Vonage sells to customers as well as in the form of large scale devices that the VOIP carriers have to use to send voice calls to landline phones.

hope that helped

    with VOIP, will we still need landlines? (13)
    Voice delivered using the IP. It is a term used in IP TELEPHONY for a set of facilities for managing
    the delivery of voice information using the IP. In general, this means sending voice information in
    digital form in discrete packets rather than in the traditional circuit-committed protocols of the
    public switched telephone network (PSTN). A major advantage of VoIP and Internet telephony is that
    it avoids the tolls charged by ordinary telephone service. so who'll still be using ordinary

  7. Voip(voice Over Internet Protocol)
    real money saver (16)
    VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is the communication technology of the future for sure. Legacy
    technology carries voice signals over analog circuits and lines. Voice over IP converts the analog
    signal to digital and transports the signal to the receiver where it is converted back from digital
    to analog and the receiver hears the sender's voice. This provides a more efficient and
    economical means of communication. I have know VOIP for quite a some time since i started online.
    Most of the time i use msn messeger or yahoo messeger to chat with my friends. Recently,....
