Now more than ever, telecoms infrastructures play a vital role in supporting the health of our communities. Behind the scenes, networking technologies are working to keep the lines of communications open between emergency services and those in need.
A recent example from the Lombardy region of Italy highlights a typical scenario:
Gateways enable communication where otherwise, it would be impossible.
Gateways are analogous to interpreters. They don’t translate the conversation during your calls, but they do interpret, and in doing so interwork, the protocols that set up and manage your conversations.
In that sense, gateways render the impossible possible. But that’s not the whole story…
Gateways are great. That’s because they enable communications where otherwise, it would be impossible. Impossible that is other than by using something else. Funnily enough, that something else is often a monolithic PBX that is made to mimic the functions of a gateway. Less amusing is that such a solution is often far more expensive, and involves capital outlay on something inherently obsolete.
People have been forecasting the demise of the PSTN for many years now; well over a decade.
Spending money on gateways can protect your VoIP migration budget.
Any competent financial advisor will be able to illustrate how you can spend to save, but when it comes to funding your migration to VoIP, it’s your financial director you’ve got to convince.
