[cisco-voip] Expressway Design for new startup

[James Buchanan]

Hello,

I don't believe that's the case. According to Cisco, you register the
phones directly to Spark. Check out

.

This could eliminate the need for a UCM at all as well as voice gateways if
I understand it correctly.

Thanks,

James
