The '''inter-working function''' ('''IWF''') is a method for interfacing a [[wireless telecommunication]] network with the [[public switched telephone network]] (PSTN). The IWF converts the data transmitted over the air interface into a format suitable for the PSTN.<ref>{{cite web |title=IWF Interworking Function |url=https://www.mpirical.com/glossary/iwf-interworking-function |publisher=Mpirical |access-date=19 February 2023}}</ref>
 
IWF contains both the hardware and software elements that provide the rate adaptation and [[network protocol|protocol]] conversion between PSTN and the wireless network.
