Deploy your LiveKit voice AI agents on Telnyx's carrier-native network. Same framework, same CLI, same code, with built-in telephony, colocated AI models, and 50% cheaper than LK.
LiveKit is where you prototype voice AI. Telnyx is where you run it in production.
When your voice AI moves from development to enterprise scale, the underlying infrastructure matters. LiveKit on Telnyx gives you the framework you know with carrier-grade telephony, colocated STT/TTS/LLM inference, and a single bill for compute, models, and minutes.
No third-party SIP provider. No fragmented vendor stack. No session fees eating your margins. Enjoy 50% less than Livekit during beta.
Enhanced reliability and better performance at half the cost.
LiveKit Cloud charges session fees, bandwidth fees, and STT/TTS markup. Telnyx gives you 20% off model pricing, waived session fees during beta, and telephony included—not added on.
Telnyx is the carrier. AMR-WB codec support, STIR/SHAKEN attestation, call transfers, custom trunk configurations—enterprise SIP capabilities that LiveKit Cloud requires external providers to deliver.
STT and TTS models run on Telnyx GPUs, colocated with our global telephony PoPs. 200ms round-trip times for conversations that feel natural, not robotic.
Your agent code doesn't change. Your Dockerfile doesn't change. Update three environment variables, run lk agent deploy, and you're live on Telnyx infrastructure.
Buy numbers in 140+ countries directly in the Telnyx portal. No third-party number provider, no separate SIP trunk account, no integration headaches.
Compute, AI inference, and telephony on one Telnyx bill. No reconciling three vendors, no surprise overages from different billing cycles.
Already building with LiveKit? You're five minutes from running on Telnyx. Same Agent Framework, same CLI commands, same deployment workflow. Add the Telnyx plugin for colocated STT/TTS/LLM, deploy your agent, and connect a phone number. No new abstractions. No telephony expertise required.
Start building with LiveKit on Telnyx.
Start here to understand how Telnyx stacks up against LiveKit across telephony, latency, reliability, compliance, and pricing. Unlike LiveKit's reliance on third-party SIP carriers, Telnyx owns its global IP network end-to-end. Because AI processing and media handling run on the same infrastructure, Telnyx delivers faster conversations, simpler vendor management, and costs that don't balloon as you scale.
Everything you need to configure and run LiveKit agents on Telnyx infrastructure, beginning with setup to integrating and deploying STT, TTS, and LLM models into your existing LiveKit workflows.
In this blog, we explain how Telnyx reduces Voice AI latency by co-locating GPU inference with our telephony infrastructure and using private regional networking to eliminate unnecessary hops.
