A system, method and apparatus adapted to provide multiple voice communication carriers access to a data network via a single gateway.
Claims17
A method that enables an originating gateway to operate with more than one originating communications carrier, the method comprising:
- providing said one originating gateway, wherein the gateway comprises more than one arrival port;
- uniquely assigning, to each originating communications carrier, a respective arrival port;
- storing carrier-identifying indicia indicative of the more than one originating communications carrier in a storage medium accessible to the gateway;
- comparing the carrier-identifying indicia to data associated with an incoming call;
- and
- connecting the call if one of said carrier-identifying indicia matches the data associated with the call, utilizing a carrier server corresponding to said communications carrier associated with said carrier-identifying indicia, said carrier server having data associated with said call.

A system comprising:
- one originating gateway comprising a plurality of arrival ports and connected to a plurality of communications carriers, wherein each one of the communications carriers are assigned to a particular one of the arrival ports, each of the assigned arrival ports being different from each other;
- a plurality of communications carrier-identifying indicia stored in a storage medium accessible by the originating gateway;
- means for comparing the indicia to data associated with an incoming call;
- and
- means responsive to one of the indicia matching data contained in the call for connecting the call to a carrier server for authentication, the carrier server being associated with the one indicia.
