LiveKit on Telnyx

Build, deploy, and scale voice AI agents on Telnyx’s global network — the same LiveKit you know, hosted on Telnyx infrastructure with integrated telephony and AI models.

​
Why LiveKit on Telnyx?

LiveKit on Telnyx collapses your voice AI stack into a single platform:
  • Built-in Telephony, No Third-Party SIP Fees — Telnyx is the carrier. Buy numbers, configure SIP, connect to agents — all in one portal. On other platforms, you pay third-party SIP fees on top of your usage. On Telnyx, those are gone entirely.
  • Ultra-Low Latency AI on Telnyx GPUs — STT, TTS, and LLM run on Telnyx-owned GPUs, colocated in every region ~2ms from your agents. No round-trips to external APIs — faster responses, better conversations.
  • Same LiveKit, Zero Migration Risk — Same SDKs, same CLI, same agent framework. Swap three environment variables and redeploy — your code doesn’t change.
  • One Platform, One Bill — Compute, models, telephony, and phone numbers — all on a single Telnyx invoice. No vendor sprawl.

​
Not ready to migrate?

Install livekit-plugins-telnyx on your existing LiveKit Cloud or self-hosted setup. Same agent code, same infrastructure — just faster, colocated inference on Telnyx GPUs. 
pip install "telnyx-livekit-plugin @ git+https://github.com/team-telnyx/telnyx-livekit-plugin.git#subdirectory=telnyx-livekit-plugin"

​
Who is this for?

  • LiveKit Cloud users looking to consolidate vendors or reduce latency via Telnyx’s network
  • Self-hosted LiveKit operators tired of managing infrastructure and wanting managed hosting
  • New voice AI developers who want a single platform for media, telephony, and AI

​
How it works

  1. Connect — Configure your LiveKit client to point to Telnyx’s LiveKit cluster using your Telnyx credentials.
  2. Build — Write agents using the LiveKit Agent framework with Telnyx plugins for STT, TTS, and LLM.
  3. Deploy — Deploy agents to Telnyx’s managed infrastructure. Telephony connects via built-in SIP.
  4. Scale — Telnyx handles the infrastructure. You manage your agents and configuration.
