Which telephony components may exist within a Genesys Cloud CX site?

The Edge is a critical component within the Genesys Cloud CX architecture and plays a fundamental role in telephony. It serves as a bridge between the organization’s internal network and the external telephony network, facilitating the connection and management of voice communication for interactions. The Edge is responsible for tasks such as handling voice traffic, managing calls, and providing essential functions like routing and providing security for voice communications.

In the context of a Genesys Cloud CX site, the presence of the Edge enhances the system's capabilities, enabling it to manage both inbound and outbound calls efficiently. The Edge can work in conjunction with the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) and various endpoints, thus reinforcing its importance in telephony operations.

Understanding the Edge's function is crucial as it directly impacts the quality and reliability of voice interactions, which are vital to customer experience in a contact center environment. This component integrates seamlessly within the Genesys ecosystem, making it an essential part of any Genesys Cloud CX implementation.
