Episode 94: Voice Gateways and VoIP Translation

This episode introduces voice gateways, devices that translate between traditional telephony systems and modern Voice over IP (VoIP). They convert circuit-switched voice into packet-switched traffic, enabling organizations to integrate legacy phone systems with IP-based communications. The exam emphasizes voice gateways because VoIP deployments often require interoperability with existing infrastructure.

Examples include a business connecting analog phones to a VoIP provider through a gateway or supporting fax transmissions across IP networks. Troubleshooting issues may include codec mismatches, jitter causing degraded audio quality, or misconfigured dial plans. By understanding voice gateways and VoIP translation, you’ll be prepared to answer exam questions and support hybrid telephony environments in professional practice.
