--- title: Edge Compute on a Carrier Network | Telnyx canonical: https://telnyx.com/edge-compute --- # Edge Compute on a Carrier Network | Telnyx **Edge Compute** # A home for real-time agents Run your agents on one platform instead of wiring together five vendors. One runtime, one bill, and compliance built into the network.

COMPETITION ## Voice, inference, and compute on one network. No one else operates the telephony, the GPUs, and the runtime as a single system. Here's an honest look at how the platforms compare. CAPABILITY Owns the underlying carrier & PSTN network Partial(aggregator) Voice, messaging & inference on one owned network Partial Global edge footprint for low-latency inference Partial Durable state at the edge In-region data residency (by architecture) (via config) Partial Bring your own agent framework Partial Partial Proprietary voice / TTS model quality Partial Single vendor across voice + compute + AI SECURITY ## Sovereign by architecture. In-region traffic is processed by in-region compute, not because you configured it, but because that is how the network is built. We run live sites across North America, Europe, APAC, and MENA, so the data boundary follows the traffic. One boundary, one DPA, one audit. ## Bring your agents home.

The platform for building and running voice AI agents on Telnyx-owned infrastructure: speech recognition, inference, voice, telephony, and messaging in one native stack. ### How is Telnyx different from other inference providers? ### What regions are available? ### Do I have to use Telnyx telephony to use the compute? ### How does data sovereignty work? ### What models are available? ### Is my data used to train Telnyx models? ### How do I get started?
