Gateway

A gateway is a point of access or entry that connects different networks or systems. In technology, it often refers to a device or software that enables communication between different networks, such as a home network and the internet. It translates data formats, manages traffic, and ensures that information is sent and received correctly. In a broader sense, a gateway can also refer to any means of entering or accessing a particular place, system, or service, serving as a bridge between different environments or domains.
