# Melbourne, Australia Anchorsite for SIP Connections

### 3, Sep 2026

Telnyx has added a Melbourne, Australia anchorsite for SIP connections, expanding local voice anchoring in the APAC region. Melbourne joins Sydney as Telnyx's second anchorsite in Australia and the 18th+ PoP globally, providing additional redundancy and lower latency for customers across Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia.

### What's new

* **Melbourne, Australia anchorsite:** New anchor location for [SIP connections](https://telnyx.com/products/sip-trunks), adding a second Australian site alongside Sydney
* **APAC expansion:** Strengthens Telnyx's regional footprint with improved routing options for Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia

### Why it matters

Customers running SIP trunks in Australia previously relied on a single anchorsite in Sydney. Adding Melbourne provides a second domestic anchoring point, reducing latency for traffic originating in southern and eastern Australia and offering redundancy for mission-critical voice infrastructure. Calls stay on Telnyx's private backbone from end to end, avoiding public internet hops that degrade voice quality.

### Example use cases

* [Contact centers](https://telnyx.com/solutions/contact-center) serving Australian customers can select Melbourne as their anchorsite for lower latency in Victoria and southern states
* Enterprises with SIP trunks in Australia gain redundancy by anchoring traffic through Melbourne instead of routing everything through Sydney
* Regional carriers terminating traffic in Australia can reduce round-trip latency by selecting the closest anchorsite

### Getting started

1. Log in to the [Telnyx Mission Control Portal](https://portal.telnyx.com/)
2. Navigate to Voice → SIP Trunking → SIP Connections
