When setting up a VoIP system, understanding the differences between an Analog VoIP Gateway, a Digital VoIP Gateway, and a Session Border Controller (SBC) is crucial for ensuring seamless communication. Here’s how they differ:

1. Analog VoIP Gateway
An Analog VoIP Gateway connects traditional analog phones, fax machines, or PBX systems to a VoIP network. It converts analog voice signals into digital IP packets that can be transmitted over an IP network. These gateways are ideal for businesses transitioning from legacy phone systems to VoIP while still using existing analog devices.

2. Digital VoIP Gateway
A Digital VoIP Gateway serves a similar purpose but is designed for digital PBX systems. It connects ISDN PRI, BRI, or E1/T1 digital lines to a VoIP network, enabling businesses to retain their digital infrastructure while leveraging VoIP benefits such as cost savings and advanced call management.
