What if the destination call is not within the local area of the remote InfoGate?
The call can still be completed with a long-distance call from the closest InfoGate, assuming that the InfoGate network administrator has allowed such outbound calls to be made from that location. The GateKeeper selects the remote Gateway to complete a specific call on the basis of the Gateway’s availability and the programmed cost of the connection required to complete the call from that Gateway. This least-cost routing algorithm typically routes the call to the Gateway that is geographically closest to the desired number, but not always.
