​
LiveKit on Telnyx (Beta)

  • Overview: Deploy and run LiveKit agents on Telnyx infrastructure with built-in telephony, STT, TTS, and LLM — all on one platform.
  • Compatibility: What works, what’s different, and what’s not available when using LiveKit on Telnyx vs LiveKit Cloud or self-hosted.
  • Quick Start: Deploy a LiveKit voice agent on Telnyx in minutes and call it from your phone using a real Telnyx number, with no third-party SIP setup required.
  • Connect: Point your existing LiveKit CLI and SDKs at the Telnyx platform by swapping the URL and credentials — no code changes required to migrate.

​
Migration

  • From LiveKit Cloud: Switch from LiveKit Cloud to Telnyx — change three environment variables, keep everything else.
  • From Self-Hosted: Stop running LiveKit infrastructure. Deploy your agents to Telnyx.

​
Build

  • Build: Build a voice agent with Telnyx STT, TTS, and LLM and deploy it to the Telnyx platform.

​
Deploy

  • Deploy: Deploy your LiveKit agent to Telnyx infrastructure with the lk agent deploy command, which builds a container image and provisions workers in chosen regions.
  • Configuration: Configuration options for deploying LiveKit agents on Telnyx, including regions, runtime settings, autoscaling, and resource provisioning details.
  • Secrets: Manage API keys and sensitive configuration values for LiveKit agents deployed on Telnyx, set at deploy time or updated after deployment.
  • Management & Access: Understand the access and management model for LiveKit on Telnyx — what you control as the developer and what Telnyx manages on the underlying platform.

​
Plugin Reference

  • Overview: Overview of STT, TTS, and LLM plugin configuration for Telnyx LiveKit agents, with on-prem inference running on Telnyx GPUs by default.
  • STT: Speech-to-text models available through Telnyx for LiveKit voice agents, including Telnyx-hosted Deepgram models running on dedicated GPUs via plugin.
  • TTS: TTS models and voices available through Telnyx for LiveKit voice agents.
  • LLM: LLM inference for LiveKit voice agents via the Telnyx Inference API — OpenAI-compatible, no concurrency limits, accessible through the standard OpenAI plugin.

​
Observability

  • Observability: Monitor LiveKit agents running on Telnyx using built-in agent logs, deployment metrics, and observability tooling available through the dashboard.

​
Telephony

  • Telephony: Connect Telnyx phone numbers to your LiveKit voice agents with no third-party SIP trunk setup — calls route on-net from Telnyx SIP directly to your agent.

​
Reference

  • Architecture: How the Telnyx LiveKit platform works, including agent containers, autoscaling, SIP integration, and AI inference colocated in each region.
  • Regions: Available LiveKit regions and platform endpoints on Telnyx, with guidance on selecting the closest deployment region for low-latency agents.
  • Limits: Build, runtime, and concurrency limits for LiveKit agents running on Telnyx, including session quotas, resource caps, and storage constraints.
  • Pricing: Usage-based pricing for LiveKit on Telnyx, with compute, AI models, and telephony billed on a single invoice with no third-party SIP fees.
