Achieve carrier-native Voice AI through the Telnyx LiveKit Plugin

25, Feb 2026

Overview

The Telnyx LiveKit Plugin enables seamless integration of Telnyx Speech-to-Text (STT) and Text-to-Speech (TTS) services into LiveKit agents. This plugin provides LiveKit developers with access to Telnyx's carrier-native infrastructure, delivering enhanced performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness for production Voice AI applications.

Key Benefits

  • Unified platform: Choose from multiple speech providers (Deepgram, Assembly, Google, Azure STT and Rime, Minimax, Cartesia TTS) while consolidating telephony, STT, TTS, and infrastructure under one platform.
  • Performance and cost advantages: Carrier-native integration delivers lower latency, higher reliability, and significant cost savings compared to LiveKit Cloud.
  • Enterprise-ready: STIR/SHAKEN compliance, global reach, and HD voice support included.

Why It Matters

As Voice AI moves from prototype to production, developers need infrastructure that can scale reliably and cost-effectively. This plugin bridges the gap between LiveKit's development framework and Telnyx's production-grade telecom infrastructure, enabling teams to deploy voice applications that perform at enterprise scale without architectural complexity.
