1. Product Introduction
1.1 Overview
This 4 Port GSM Gateway is standalone and fan-less, easy to install and has a sturdy construction.
This 4 module GSM gateway will bridge IP calls to GSM and vice versa. Use the web interface for easy and quick configuration.
It is a new type of VoIP gateway that allows call terminations from a VoIP network to a GSM network and vice versa. Call connections between IP networks and GSM networks are now bridged seamlessly to extend the voice communication coverage significantly. As the traditional
PSTN lines are starting to disappear in developed countries and are not going to be built extensively in under-developed countries, GSM phones are getting more and more popular all over the world with lower service charges. The emergence of Allo bridges the gap between traditional telephone networks and VoIP networks. As a result, local and worldwide voice communications are more convenient, available at a lower cost, and has broader coverage.
Mainly includes the following kind of model: aGG04 - A typical network diagram as below.
