Media Gateway

A media gateway is a device that connects different types of communication networks, allowing voice and data to flow seamlessly between them. For example, it enables traditional phone calls (PSTN) to connect with internet-based systems (VoIP). It converts signals so that different network protocols can understand each other, ensuring clear communication regardless of the technology used. Essentially, it acts as a translator and bridge, facilitating interoperability between diverse communication systems in a reliable and efficient manner.
