A set of intermediate certificates used by the certificate authority eMudhra can no longer be trusted. Here's how it affects self-hosted jambonz and exactly what to patch.

A 2026 guide: jambonz 11.1.6 brings the SOC 2 hardening from our AWS templates to Azure: no secrets in custom data, least-privilege identities, per-role network rules, private Redis, audited MySQL and zone redundancy.

A 2026 guide: jambonz 11.1.6 brings the SOC 2 hardening from our AWS templates to Google Cloud: secrets out of instance metadata, a least-privilege service account, per-role firewall rules, audited Cloud SQL, Redis AUTH and zone redundancy.

Self-hosted Voice AI keeps call data in your network, but it isn't SOC 2-ready by default. jambonz 11.1.6 is. Here's how to deploy it on AWS.

Compare four ways to connect a phone call to an AI voice agent with jambonz, from a managed agent verb to speech-to-speech models and raw audio streaming.

Connect phone calls to Microsoft's Voice Live API with one verb, in native speech-to-speech or cascaded text mode.

Why answering-machine detection struggles on noisy outbound calls, and how jambonz noise isolation gives your speech recognizer a clean signal to work with.

jambonz 11.1.4 can forward recorded calls, with transcripts, to the Coval or Roark evaluation platforms. Pick a vendor, paste an API key, choose what share of calls to send.

Carriers requiring mutual TLS and a static IP will reject a trunk before the first SIP message. Here is what each requires and how jambonz configures both.

Put OpenAI's GPT Live (gpt-live-1), a full-duplex speech-to-speech model, on real phone calls over SIP with jambonz, starting from working code.

xAI's Grok Voice Think Fast 2.0 now works with jambonz as a native speech-to-speech vendor. Connect phone calls with one verb and a reasoning-effort dial.

Add live call monitoring, agent coaching, and barge-in to any conference with jambonz v11's conference listen fork. Open-source reference app included.

Connect phone calls to Qwen-Audio-3.0-Realtime with a single verb: full-duplex voice AI with semantic turn detection, streaming transcripts, and sub-second response latency.

jambonz v11 adds built-in blind, warm, and conferenced handoff for voice agents: declarative, with no custom transfer workflow to build.

jambonz v11 replaces FreeSWITCH with a custom media server, more than doubling capacity and improving voice AI platform performance.

The AI dev community runs on Python — so we built a Python SDK for jambonz. A tour of the verbs, plus a webhook IVR and a WebSocket voice AI agent.

jambonz introduces a commercial license option to fund faster innovation — and, in return, to stop making self-hosting deliberately hard.

A deep dive on jambonz LLM and TTS streaming for low-latency Voice AI — the websocket protocol, the say verb, the Node.js SDK, and a full Anthropic example app.

Step-by-step: deploy jambonz as the custom telephony layer for Retell AI, covering both elastic SIP trunking and dial-to-SIP-endpoint, plus outbound calls.

I added OpenAI's Realtime API to jambonz, then ran the caller's audio through Deepgram in parallel to compare accuracy and latency — and what that reveals about speech-to-speech vs. traditional ASR pipelines.

How SoundOfData and Callable.io set up jambonz as a Direct Routing SBC for Microsoft Teams — drachtio TLS, jambonz settings, and Microsoft 365 carrier and customer tenant configuration.

Bring your own carrier to Retell AI with jambonz and drop the Twilio bundle — carrier setup, phone numbers, the streaming shim app, and call transfer.

We benchmarked time-to-first-byte across seven TTS vendors — Deepgram, ElevenLabs, Google, Microsoft, PlayHT, Rime Labs, and Whisper — for conversational AI. Here's the jambonz TTS latency leaderboard.

Using an LLM to predict what kind of answer a caller will give, then tuning the speech recognizer's endpointing for that turn — an experiment in better turn detection.

jambonz 0.8.4 adds a priority attribute to queued calls, so urgent callers can jump the queue — with a Node-RED example flow.

Mirror SIP and RTP from your jambonz SBCs to a Voipmonitor server with AWS Traffic Mirroring — plus a bonus: rolling pcaps uploaded to S3.

Conversational AI has unique needs that long-form transcription doesn't — endpointing control, prompt-aware APIs, and pause/resume billing. Three features speech vendors still aren't shipping.

Build a jambonz image on GCP with packer, then stand up a VM with terraform — service account, image build, terraform variables, DNS, and first login.

The jambonz custom speech API lets you plug in any STT engine via a websocket server. Here we wire up Vosk, an open source recognizer you can run yourself.

A walkthrough of deploying jambonz from the AWS Marketplace CloudFormation offering, plus the post-install steps to move the portals from http to https.

Add SIP over secure websockets to a jambonz install: a Let's Encrypt wildcard cert, a drachtio wss contact on 8443, and the SIP realm and registration webhook in the portal.

Scaffold a jambonz webhook application with create-jambonz-app, walk through the generated Express code, and wire it up to a phone number.
