A media gateway typically converts media streams between different media types, protocols, and bit rates, and also handles signaling conversion to allow media streams to be controlled and routed between networks.
Universal Media Gateway offers integrated interfaces for multiple network connectivity on a single platform. It can be used with PBX of any brand or even in standalone mode. The Gateway works as an adjunct to existing telephony infrastructure, with no need to replace any existing equipment. This not only saves additional investment on acquiring new equipment, but also saves time and efforts required for reinstallation of the system and retraining users. When connected with any existing PBX, the Universal Media Gateway remains completely transparent to all users and allows them to make and receive calls, and use the same PBX features.
Universal routing combined with least cost routing and telephony costs can be significantly reduced by selecting the most economical network for call routing based on number, time, network, port and combinations of each.
