Enterprises and telecom-heavy organizations rarely rip and replace their entire telephony backbone overnight. A hybrid voice AI deployment bridges existing SIP trunks, Asterisk/FreeSWITCH PBXs, or carrier landlines directly into real-time cloud AI voice agents.
Direct Port 5060 SIP & AudioSocket Streaming Architecture
Kolivri’s telephony architecture connects Asterisk PBX directly over low-latency AudioSocket and AMI streams—avoiding intermediate proxy timeouts and achieving sub-500ms round-trip audio with OpenAI Realtime and Whisper STT fallback.
Telephony Integration Options for Voice AI

| SIP Trunking / DID Peering | Same day | Multi-line call centers & high-concurrency campaigns |
| Hybrid PBX / On-Premise Bridge | Custom SLA | Regulated enterprises & existing PBX deployments |
