--- title: Our Network | Telnyx canonical: https://telnyx.com/our-network --- # Our Network | Telnyx Infrastructure for realtime agents # The network that makes realtime agents real The carrier license, the fiber, the PoPs, the GPUs. One network, end to end. Nothing you build here transits a hop we don't operate.

Co-location of infrastructure and services puts compute in the same rack as the media plane, removing the boundaries. This is something that the application layer can't fix.

We hold the telecom license. We operate the regulated infrastructure inside the region. In-region processing is not a feature toggle. One data boundary, one DPA, one audit surface across compute, storage, and telephony. Only audio crosses this boundary Flows into the in-region boundary In region Telnyx, licensed in country One building, same rack * Media plane (RTP) * Inference on owned GPUs * Transcripts and recordings * Embeddings and vector data * Object storage One DPA, one vendor Ownership ## We own every layer an agent touches Ownership is the load-bearing claim. Price, latency, reliability, identity, and sovereignty are consequences of it. A competitor can match a price. They cannot buy the structure that produced it.

A point of presence is a site with Telnyx network, switching, GPU, and compute equipment that takes traffic off the public internet onto the private backbone and back out to the PSTN or a peer. ### Do you use public cloud? ### Can I peer with Telnyx? ### Where does my data live? ### What latency can I expect for a voice agent? ### How does Telnyx handle data sovereignty? ### Can an agent discover and purchase from Telnyx without a human? ### What does Telnyx own vs rent?
