IATE Gateways
With an IATE gateway, clients and servers on a TCP/IP network can access airline reservation (CRS/GDS) systems and other hosts using many of the network protocols that they support.

The IATE gateway consists of a synchronous communications board and software installed on a non-dedicated PC or Sun system. Each IATE PCI communications board (INSCC‑QP) provides up to four ports for network communications. Multiple boards can be installed in each Gateway machine, providing a scalable solution. (Sun S‑bus boards are also available.)

For a TCP/ IP (MATIP) protocol connection, the InnoSys gateway uses the system’s network interface card(s). The proprietary InnoSys communications card is not used for this purpose.
