The latency AI voice actually needs. Latency low enough that AI sounds human. Sub-20ms network latency by routing calls in-region — not through transcontinental hops. ## Local PoPs, not transcontinental hops Most CPaaS routes traffic from Lagos through Frankfurt and back. We terminate calls in-region so your AI gets audio in milliseconds, not seconds. ## Sub-20ms network latency Measured edge-to-edge, not vendor marketing math. The result: AI conversations that feel like talking to a human, not a satellite. - Real-time bidirectional streaming - Optimized codecs for mobile networks - Jitter buffering tuned per-region ## Quality you can observe MOS, packet loss, jitter and latency reported per call and per region. No more guessing why a call sounded bad. ## Designed for noisy networks 3G, 4G, congested municipal Wi-Fi, rural LTE — we tune for the realities of emerging-market connectivity, not lab conditions. Hear the difference. Spin up a test number and put it head-to-head against your current provider.
