EtherGate links public switched telephone networks and packet-switched networks to establish connections between EtherPhone sites. EtherGate supports telephone to telephone, telephone to PC, PC to PC communications across any type of data network, regardless of topology topology, branch of mathematics, formerly known as analysis situs, that studies patterns of geometric figures involving position and relative position without regard to size. .

To save on the bandwidth required and enhance voice quality, EtherGate compresses the EtherPhone's voice data packets to less than 6K -- which are then transmitted over the data network in real time. When received at another EtherGate location, those compressed packets are decompressed and sent to the dialed extension. Systems administrators can manage an enterprise-wide EtherPhone system connected by EtherGates from a single location. In addition to simplifying an organization's infrastructure, this makes call center functions available to branch offices.
