IP telephony gateway solutions

Patton VoIP gateways and VoIP routers allow you to integrate VoIP telephony solutions with traditional telephony.    A Patton gateway converts one telephone protocol into another protocol and enables traditional telephony equipment, fax machines, modems, wireless DECT phones or phone lines to be integrated with IP solutions.

When do you need to use a gateway

A Patton gateway is required whenever different telephone solutions using different protocols need to work together.  Typically this will be when a solution consists of traditional analogue telephone equipment and new VoIP telephone equipment.  Some scenarios where gateways are used in these circumstances could include,

• The new IP telephony solution needs to connect to the public ISDN or analogue lines

• An analogue fax machine or other analogue device needs to conect to the new IP telephony solution

• A traditinal PBX in a branch office needs to connect to an IP phone solution in the headquarters

In these circumsances the Patton gateway does job of conecting one protocol system to another.  

Protecting legacy investments

A Patton gateway offers the ability to protect existing equipment investments.  Using a gateway means your may not  need throw away legacy ISDN or analogue lines or telephone equipment when instaling a VoIP solution or equipment.
