After IT Pros download the Public Beta, they will be directed to the Strategic Hardware Partners Resource Page&amp;nbsp; (&lt;A href="http://www.microsoft.com/uc/pdgtrials/default.mspx" target=_new&gt;http://www.microsoft.com/uc/pdgtrials/default.mspx&lt;/A&gt;). &lt;?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P class=MsoNoSpacing style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'"&gt;Gateways are a key component of Office Communications Server 2007 delivering software-powered VoIP that works with existing messaging and telephony infrastructures. By supporting the wide variety of legacy protocols and country approvals, gateways enable Office Communications Server 2007 to adapt to a global enterprise customer’s footprint and changing business needs. UCG has initially engaged with 3 strategic gateway partners – Dialogic, AudioCodes, and Quintum – as part of the Unified Communications Basic Media Gateway Program.&amp;nbsp; The program is designed to ensure that gateways conform to technical specifications and deliver ubiquitous connectivity, superior audio quality, great manageability and easy configuration with Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
