Telnyx has launched LiveKit on Telnyx, a fully hosted platform that enables developers to run LiveKit voice AI agents on Telnyx-owned infrastructure with significantly lower costs and ultra-low latency.
Most voice AI platforms rely on reselling third-party APIs for speech and telephony, which adds multiple layers of margins and increases costs. Telnyx owns its full infrastructure stack, including the carrier network, GPU clusters, and telephony systems.
By running LiveKit agents directly on Telnyx infrastructure, customers benefit from reduced costs, improved performance, and higher reliability. The platform supports packaging agents with a Dockerfile and deploying them via API, eliminating the need for server provisioning or external vendor management.
Telnyx offers 50% lower speech-to-text (STT) and text-to-speech (TTS) costs versus LiveKit Cloud on equivalent models. During the beta period, session fees are waived, removing the $0.01/min per active session cost that LiveKit customers currently face.
Telnyx hosts STT and TTS models on its own GPU infrastructure, colocated with global telephony points of presence. Audio remains entirely within the Telnyx network, removing the variable latency introduced by routing through external APIs. This architecture delivers sub-200ms round-trip time, resulting in more natural conversations.
The dedicated compute layer ensures consistent performance at scale while meeting the security and compliance requirements of enterprise deployments.
"Voice AI is moving from prototype to production," said David Casem, CEO and co-founder of Telnyx. "That transition demands infrastructure built for enterprise reliability and compliance. LiveKit on Telnyx gives developers the framework they know with the carrier-grade foundation that enterprise production deployments require."
Enterprise voice AI applications require advanced SIP capabilities such as AMR-WB codec support, call recording, call transfers, and custom trunk configurations. With LiveKit on Telnyx, these features are native rather than added through third-party integrations.
"LiveKit created an excellent agent framework," said Jon Scalet, Technical Product Manager at Telnyx. "LiveKit on Telnyx extends it with the telephony infrastructure that enterprise deployments require, carrier-grade SIP, verified identity, and compliance built into every call."
LiveKit on Telnyx is now available in beta. Existing LiveKit developers can migrate in minutes while keeping their agent code unchanged.
