Thanks — you’re asking whether LiveKit Cloud’s SIP can be used with a UAE-based SIP provider. Short answer: Yes, you can use LiveKit Cloud SIP with a UAE SIP provider. LiveKit does not prohibit using SIP providers in the UAE. Important note: LiveKit’s SIP region-pinning does not include a specific UAE / ME (Middle East) region. The only SIP region pins available are:
eu
,
india
,
sa
,
us
,
aus
, and
uk
. That means you cannot force SIP traffic to be pinned exclusively to the UAE via LiveKit’s region-pinning feature. What you should consider next: • Compliance: Ensure your routing and setup comply with UAE telecom/regulatory requirements (that responsibility is on your side). • If you need traffic locality or compliance guarantees for UAE, region-pinning to a UAE-specific region isn’t available — tell me whether your priority is latency, compliance, or call origination so I can suggest alternatives (for example, using a nearby supported region or configuring
destination_country
for outbound calls). Sources: SIP trunk setup | LiveKit docs | Region pinning | LiveKit docs | SIP cloud and region pinning | LiveKit docs | SIP outbound trunk | LiveKit docs
