Telnyx infrastructure is live in the United Arab Emirates. Customers can now choose UAE as their data storage region and run AI inference on Telnyx-owned GPUs in Dubai.
Mission Control Portal now includes United Arab Emirates as a data storage region, joining USA (default), Germany, and Australia. Selecting UAE means the following data sits at rest in local infrastructure:
Dubai is also a live inference region (me-central-1). LLM requests from the Middle East process on Telnyx-owned GPU infrastructure in Dubai instead of routing through US or European data centers. Kimi K2.6 is the first model available in the region, accessible through the same OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions API.
In-region processing. Inference runs on GPUs physically located in Dubai. Prompts and responses do not transit to US or EU for compute. For customers in regulated sectors like banking, healthcare, and insurance, that means one answer when compliance teams ask where AI workloads process.
Low latency. Co-locating inference with regional infrastructure keeps round-trip latency low for MENA users. Customers no longer absorb 200-400ms of cross-border routing overhead on every inference call.
