VOIP Gateways Are Still Alive and Well in Many Service Provider Networks, New Report Finds
The need to converge TDM and IP-based voice traffic makes VOIP gateways indispensable for many network operators, according to Light Reading Insider
NEW YORK, July 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Although they were earmarked for obsolescence with the arrival of softswitches, VOIP gateways continue to play a key role in many carrier networks and will continue to attract spending from network operators as they converge VOIP and TDM voice services, according to a new report from the subscription research service Light Reading Insider.

VOIP Gateways: Surviving the Softswitch Revolution details how different classes of network operators are using carrier-class VOIP gateways in their networks and assesses those operators' long-term VOIP gateway deployment strategies and business models for delivering VOIP services to consumers, enterprises, and wholesale users. The report analyzes VOIP network architectures and strategies now in place at eight leading carriers, including AT&T, Global Crossing, and Level 3 Communications.

Yes, when the computer that is physically wired to the wireless gateway is used to set up the home network. The Home Network Install CD automates the installation of device drivers for a computer that is wired to the gateway via a USB cable, and configures the network settings (including wireless security parameters) for the home network. There is no need to run The Home Network Install CD on secondary computers that are attached to the wireless gateway via physical wire. These computers will simply connect to the shared Internet connection provided through the gateway’s integral broadband modem.

The report also provides a competitive analysis of the VOIP gateway products and strategies of more than a dozen equipment manufacturers, including major incumbent vendors such as Alcatel, Cisco Systems, Huawei Technologies, Lucent Technologies, and Nortel Networks, as well as VOIP specialists such as Sonus Networks.
- Close the the Home Network Install CD application by selecting the Exit command from the program’s File Menu or the system tray icon’ click menu.
- Run the Home Network Install CD Easy Setup application found in the program directory where the Home Network Install CD was installed.
- (From computer wired to the gateway) Click Setup, click the next button to skip to Step 3, enter a new password (and network name) and click next to complete the configuration.
- (From computer wirelessly connected to the gateway) Locate the reset button on the backside of the wireless gateway.

"The big divide in the VOIP gateway arena appears to be in who gets to have a product that qualifies as a carrier-class gateway -- Cisco and its competitors, or large vendors scaling back softswitches to get distribution in networks," the report notes. "At the core of this fight is the desire to sell standalone VOIP gateways. In an installation such as Level 3 or Global Crossing, being the vendor of choice could mean sales of dozens of large platforms -- a tempting opportunity for many vendors."
- Connect the legacy PBX to the VoIP gateway (using an interface port), just like you would connect a normal phone line. Setup the legacy PBX so that all incoming call on this line are directed to the operator's phone. IP network.
- From the Hosted IVR interface, create a phone terminal extension account associated with the VoIP gateway. The Hosted IVR server will treat the gateway as a SIP phone.
- Configure the VoIP gateway to register to the Hosted IVR server using the new extension's authentication data.
- From the Hosted IVR interface, create an IVR extension. Assign a public phone number to this extension so it can be reached from a phone in the public network (i.e. a phone connected to the PSTN).

Key findings of the report include: -- VOIP gateways are taking over some of the functions of softswitches, including routing, call building, SS7 interconnection, and feature server application support. -- The core economic driver for VOIP gateways' higher profile is VOIP traffic volume. -- The centralized call control offered by softswitches has grown unprofitable, and thus unfashionable. -- Eventually, VOIP gateways will look more like large computers and less like carrier telecom equipment.
