Keep your agents, ditch the infrastructure. No more managing Kubernetes clusters, TURN servers, SIP services, or autoscaling.

​
What Telnyx replaces

  • LiveKit SFU server
  • SIP service / Otel SIP
  • TURN/STUN servers
  • Container orchestration / autoscaling
  • TLS termination and load balancing
  • Monitoring infrastructure

​
What stays the same

  • Your agent code
  • SDK calls
  • Room management logic
  • Dispatch rules

​
Steps

  1. Create a Telnyx account at portal.telnyx.com
  2. Generate a Telnyx API key in the portal
  3. Register with the platform (one-time): 
    curl -s -X POST "https://<region>.livekit-telnyx.com/provision" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "my-project",
    "api_key": "'$TELNYX_API_KEY'",
    "api_secret": "'$LIVEKIT_API_SECRET'"
  }'
  4. Update your agent to point at https://nyc1.livekit-telnyx.com (or your preferred region)
  5. Move secrets to the platform: 
    lk agent deploy . --secrets TELNYX_API_KEY=<your-key>,OTHER_SECRET=<value>
  6. Re-create dispatch rules on the Telnyx platform
  7. Update SIP configuration to point at Telnyx SIP endpoints
  8. Verify your agent is running: lk room list
  9. Decommission your self-hosted infrastructure

​
What you gain

  • No infra management — No Kubernetes, no TURN, no Redis for multi-region.
  • Built-in SIP, no third-party SIP fees — On other platforms, you pay third-party SIP fees on top of your usage. On Telnyx, those are gone entirely.
  • Managed autoscaling — Platform handles container lifecycle.
  • Ultra-low latency AI on Telnyx GPUs — STT, TTS, and LLM colocated in every region ~2ms from your agents. No round-trips to external APIs.
