⁠Overview

IBM® Voice Gateway provides a way to integrate a set of orchestrated Watson services with a public or private telephone using the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). IBM® Voice Gateway also supports SMS through a new microservice that is available since the 1.0.0.5 release. The voice gateway enables direct voice interactions over a telephone or through an SMS enabled device with a cognitive self-service agent or the ability to transcribe a phone call between a caller and agent in real-time, enabling the ability to process the conversation with analytics for real-time agent feedback.

This repository contains images for the part of the voice gateway that handles SMS along with Watson Conversation orchestration. It communicates with an SMS provider through the Twilio Messaging API and can be found in the ibmcom/voice-gateway-sms⁠ repository.

In a high availability environment, the SMS Gateway requires an XSLD caching server that can be found in the ibmcom/voice-gateway-xsld⁠ repository. More information on setting up a high availability environment can be found here: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS4U29/sms_ha.html⁠
