What does Avaya's Gateway primarily connect?

Avaya's Gateway primarily serves as a bridge between different telephone protocols, facilitating communication across varied telephony systems. This is crucial in environments where diverse technologies are in use, as it allows for seamless interoperability between different standards such as SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), H.323, and traditional circuit-switched telephony systems. By supporting multiple protocols, the Gateway enables organizations to make the most of their existing infrastructure while integrating new technologies, ensuring that voice traffic can be managed effectively and efficiently across different platforms and networks.

This capability is essential for organizations looking to modernize their telephony solutions without completely overhauling their existing components, thereby maintaining legacy systems while adopting modern communication methods.
