As phone conversations and faxes pass through LATIC’s Network Gateways, they are turned into packets of data. A proprietary packetization technique is used to strengthen each packet's routing information and ensure that packets of data arrive at their final destination quickly, efficiently, and synchronized for high-quality delivery to their final destination.

Next, packets of data are compressed for more efficient network utilization. LATIC leads the industry in voice compression and silence detection technologies, and is able to compress 6–12 voice signals into a single 64-Kbps channel. Once signals are compressed, they are transported via the Internet, through LATIC’s Internet Gateway site at the distant end, and to the final calling destination.

As calls and fax transmissions are processed, LATNET gateway databases screen authorized users, process billing information, and monitor network performance. The end result: highly-efficient network utilization and reliable, high-quality sound.
