Becke Telcom VoIP gateways provide interworking between communication systems that cannot connect directly to the same voice network. Depending on the gateway family, the boundary may be between analog endpoints and SIP, PSTN or digital trunks and an IP PBX, cellular networks and VoIP, or two-way radio resources and an IP-based dispatch platform.
The gateway type is selected by the interface that needs to cross that boundary. An FXS gateway serves analog subscriber devices, an FXO gateway connects analog telephone lines, a trunk gateway handles supported digital circuits, GoIP links cellular channels with SIP, and RoIP carries radio voice and control across IP networks.
Session Border Controllers serve a related but different role. Rather than converting an analog, cellular or radio interface, an SBC operates at the SIP network edge to manage sessions, security, NAT traversal and interoperability between IP voice domains.
