Additional field(s): Telecom(munications) | | English term or phrase: gateway | Definition from International Telecommunication Union :
A switching node that translates data formats, signaling protocols and sometimes address information in order to permit communication between two dissimilar networks
Example sentence(s): - Because the IP Internet is a connectionless system, gateways and hosts route datagrams without coordinating with the original sender. This works fine except when a problem delivering a datagram occurs. Problems occur when nodes or whole networks become disconnected, the time-to-live counter expires, or gateways become too congested to process more traffic. Warthman Associates
- These autonomous devices, or nodes, combine with routers and a gateway to create a typical WSN system. The distributed measurement nodes communicate wirelessly to a central gateway, which provides a connection to the wired world where you can collect, process, analyze, and present your measurement data. National Instruments Corporation
- A gateway repackages information to match the requirements of the destination system. Gateways can change the format of a message so that it will conform to the application program at the receiving end of the transfer. A gateway links two systems that might not use the same Communication protocols and Data formatting structures. HMS Industrial Networks
