The PSTN still (believe it or not) has its place in today’s telecommunications world.
With communications being the “beating heart” of your business, you certainly cannot afford to be without the ability to send and receive valuable phone calls. It is possible, with VoIP, that your network crashes or Internet connectivity can be lost. Meaning, of course, the your ability to send or receive calls, emergency included, is stripped.
That’s the problem and I herein present you with the solution: an FXO VoIP Gateway!
In one of my previous posts, I had skimmed the term FXO. FXO (Foreign Exchange Office), designates a telephone signaling interface that receives POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service). FXO generates the off-hook and on-hook indications. Basically… an FXO device is one in which appears to be a “regular telephone”. An FXO device would be able to accept ringing signals, go on-hook/off-hook, and send/receive voice frequency signals.
So what do I actually use this gateway for and why?
Well, there are more than a few applications for an FXO gateway but I will just name the most common (I’m sure you’ll be able to get a bit creative with these devices).
Analog VoIP Gateways enable flexible deployments and interoperability for evolving next generation networks. Supported protocols for Analog gateways include SIP and certain gateways even provide support for lesser used protocols such as H.323. and MGCP.
