RALEIGH, N.C., Sept. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Bandwidth Inc. (NASDAQ: BAND), a leading global enterprise cloud communications company, today announced support for OpenAI's latest release of its Realtime API, now integrating voice calling with session initiation protocol (SIP). This enables enterprises to easily bring their own conversational AI voice agents, powered by OpenAI's GPT language models, to Bandwidth's edge infrastructure for natural, human-like conversations.

The Realtime API integration is the newest addition to Bandwidth's open and flexible strategy, which gives enterprise IT teams the freedom to choose multiple pathways to build best-in-class AI applications into their communications stack. Customer options include pre-built integrations with leading conversational AI platforms like Google Dialogflow and Cognigy, support for third-party applications across industries and use cases using Bandwidth's programmable voice API, support for native AI features within cloud contact center platforms, and support for standards-based APIs like OpenAI's Realtime API that let enterprises bring their own conversational AI into Bandwidth's edge infrastructure. Combined with Bandwidth's owned-and-operated cloud communications network with global reach, customers gain a unique advantage: the ability to run conversational AI applications with the high fidelity, low latency and intelligent routing that mission-critical voice calls require to be successful.

"Enterprises can now deploy AI voice agents powered by the technology behind ChatGPT, with the reliability and global scale of our Communications Cloud," said John Bell, Bandwidth's Chief Product Officer.
