Explanation:
Gateway: Supports Analog Faxes and Modems on a Voip Network
Performs Call Setup and teardown between Voip Networks & the PSTN.
CUBE. Interconnects segments of the same or different VoIP networks using different media types.
Interconnects segments of the same or different VoIP networks using different media types.
Gateway Functionality: Gateways are responsible Media stream handling and speech path
integrity, DTMF relay, Fax relay and pass-through, Digit translation and call processing, Dial peers
and codec filtering, Carrier ID handling, Termination and re-origination of signaling and media.
The Cisco Unified Border Element is a session border controller designed to provide easy, secure,
and cost-effective connectivity between independent unified communications networks or network
domains for different enterprises. It provides interconnection between incompatible applications
within the enterprise network, between different enterprises for business-to-business applications,
and between enterprise networks and service provider Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunks.
The Cisco Unified Border Element provides key session management capabilities, H.323 and SIP
interworking functions, and network-to-network interface security and demarcation capabilities. It
performs most of the same functions of a public switched telephone network (PSTN)-to-IP
gateway but joins two VoIP call legs. Media packets can either flow through (thus hiding the
networks from each other) or around the Cisco Unified Border Element platform.
