Integrated gateway

摘要

An integrated gateway is disclosed. In one embodiment, a gateway includes a modem, a wide area network (WAN) interface, a local area network (LAN) interface, a router module, a voice-over-internet protocol (VOIP) adapter and a session-initiation protocol (SIP) adapter. The WAN interface is in communication with a packet network, such as a VOIP network. The router module is configured to route data traffic between the WAN interface and the LAN interface. In one embodiment, the VOIP adapter, as does the SIP adapter, includes a wireless interface for wireless communication with an endpoint device. The VOIP adapter is configured to provide VOIP services between the endpoint device and the packet network. The SIP adapter is configured to provide SIP services between the endpoint device and the packet network.

1. A gateway, comprising:
a wide area network interface in communication with a packet network; a local area network interface for coupling to a first computer via a first wired connection and to a second computer via a first wireless connection using a first antenna; a router module for routing data traffic between the wide area network interface and the local area network interface; a modem that is integrated within the gateway and coupled to the wide area network interface; a voice-over-internet protocol adapter having an interface for only supporting a voice-over-internet protocol service between a first handset and the packet network, wherein the interface for the voice-over-internet protocol service comprises a second wired connection and a second wireless connection using a second antenna; and a session-initiation protocol adapter having an interface for only supporting a session-initiation protocol service between a second handset and the packet network, wherein the interface for the session-initiation protocol service comprises a third wired connection and a third wireless connection using a third antenna, wherein a separate cordless handset base station and a separate wireless router are not needed for the voice-over-internet protocol service over the second wireless connection and the session-initiation protocol service over the third wireless connection, wherein the first handset and the second handset each comprises a voice-over-internet protocol module and a session-initiation protocol module stored in a memory, wherein the gateway comprises a single integrated device with the wide area network interface, the local area network interface, the router, the modem, the voice-over-internet protocol adapter and the session-initiation protocol adapter.
