Owned infrastructure makes the difference
By owning and operating our own global IP network, Telnyx minimizes latency and enhances call quality of AI Agents in ways that LiveKit cannot match. Telnyx also avoids the delays and congestion of the public internet, keeping traffic anchored near end users, and delivering sub-200ms round-trip times for real-time voice AI. This level of control ensures consistent, high-quality interactions at scale while eliminating the dependency on third-party networks that introduce variability and slow down conversations.

Native telephony built into the platform. Calls run on Telnyx’s owned network with one-click integration and no external carrier dependencies.
Relies on third-party carriers through SIP integrations. Telephony lives outside the core stack.
Benefits of Telnyx infrastructure
These benefits come from owning the network, the compute, and the AI stack end-to-end.
50% less than LiveKit
Save 50% off LiveKit's STT/TTS pricing with enterprise SIP capabilities and zero active session fees, without sacrificing performance.
Lower latency by design
AI models and telephony run on the same network, minimizing hops and delivering faster, more natural real time conversations.
One platform, flexible choices
Choose between the Telnyx LiveKit Plugin for immediate cost savings on STT/TTS, or go full-stack with LiveKit on Telnyx for complete hosted infrastructure. Both paths use the same global network.
SIP as first-class citizen
Enterprise SIP capabilities built natively into the platform with AMR-WB codec support, call recording, HD voice, and custom trunk configurations that LiveKit can't deliver.
Enterprise compliance by design
SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, PCI, ISO, and GDPR standards with EU infrastructure for in-region data processing, ensuring regulatory compliance across the full voice AI stack.
One vendor, one bill
Full-stack platform eliminates multi-vendor complexity with phone numbers, real-time media, STT, TTS, LLMs, and telephony on unified infrastructure. Single relationship, simplified billing, consolidated support instead of managing multiple separate providers.
