The most common way VoIP works is that the end user establishes a hi speed broadband connection, a router and a VoIP gateway.Voice over IP gateways also perform the opposite of this function.Instead of a standard telephone line, the router sends the telephone about an Internet connection. The VoIP gateway, which is somewhere in direct proximity of connected Internet is loaded, the analog signals into digital format, which are further broken down into smaller chunks called 'packets', before sending it over the Internet, much like the way data is transmitted to and from the computer.

A VoIP Gateway, or Voice over IP Gateway, is a network device which helps to convert voice and fax calls, in real time, between an IP network and Public Switched Telephone Network. Gateways are defined in different ways by different people. A gateway is a server; it may also be called a "media gateway." Gateways use a combination of specialized voice codecs and VoIP protocols. The specific IP communications technology that is utilized is dependent upon the VoIP gateway used and other aspects of the complete set-up.
