SwyxGate is a gateway solution which consists of a software component and at least one ISDN card. SwyxGate converts incoming calls from the PSTN into IP packets and adapts outgoing calls from the IP network into signals and voice transmission to the PSTN. To interface with the PSTN, SwyxGate uses standard ISDN cards.

Scalable gateway solution

The maximum number of simultaneous connections to the telephone network depends only on the user's communication requirements and can range from 2 to 30 for a single SwyxGate. SwyxGate can be installed on a stand-alone PC as well as on the SwyxServer PC for smaller installations. The administration of SwyxGate is performed with Microsoft's Management Console (MMC).

Easy migration

SwyxGate can communicate with an existing classical PBX and therefore allows a step by step migration to IP telephony. Therefore, SwyxGate can cope with short-term bottlenecks concerning the existing PBX and new locations can be established without a costly extension of the old PBX. In this case, SwyxGate is simply installed as a sub-PBX of the existing telephone infrastructure and will gradually take over the functionality of the old PBX.
