Why each option
The purpose of a hybrid Local Gateway in the context of Webex Calling is to facilitate calls between the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and Webex Calling.
While a local gateway can technically be involved in calls between Cisco UCM and Webex Calling, its primary and defining purpose as a *hybrid* local gateway for Webex Calling is to handle PSTN integration.
A hybrid Local Gateway provides the essential connectivity between a customer's on-premises Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) infrastructure and their Webex Calling deployment. This allows Webex Calling users to make and receive calls from external traditional telephone numbers, extending their communication capabilities to the outside world.
A local gateway connects to on-premises PSTN; Cisco Calling Plans are a cloud-based PSTN service provided by Cisco, so a local gateway is not used for this connection.
Cloud Connected PSTN refers to PSTN services delivered from the cloud, which does not require an on-premises local gateway for connectivity, as the connection is handled by the cloud provider.
