With its voice-over-IP gateway features, the SmartNode can be used as a standalone gateway for VoIP tele-
phony (see figure 4).
A standalone gateway has performance reliability and scalability advantages compared with PC-based gateway
cards. In this application, the SmartNode also offers a migration path to enterprise or carrier networking.
Figure 4 shows the deployment of a SmartNode as a LAN voice gateway.
The PSTN connections can be scaled from a single ISDN basic rate access to multiple primary rate lines. With
Q.SIG, integration in private PBX networks is also supported.
