Telecom Application Developer Hackathon

Developer Portal: Developers can get their apps information and access the complete documentation of our REST/XML/JavaScript APIs. The swagger based HTTP/REST documentation also allows developers to take immediate actions from the portal like creating SIP accounts, directly from the web portal. Each HTTP/REST action is also available in its cURL version (cURL is actually used internally to launch the HTTP request), thus allowing developers to copy/paste and test request anywhere.

Apidaze Developer How-to Video

Apidaze Tech Blog

WebRTC Server Example: A sample web application that uses APIdaze audio/video conference bridge accessible from the web using WebRTC and the PSTN (using a simple HTTP/REST with cURL).

WebRTC Audio Stats Sample App: A sample web application that shows how to gather RTCP statistics from APIdaze WebRTC audio bridge, very useful to monitor the quality of the underlying network connection.

WebRTC Call Monitor App: Monitor incoming calls placed to a DID from a web application without using SIP nor XMPP. Here, the Google Channel API is used as the signaling channel, and the presented incoming call can be answered directly from the browser using WebRTC.

Bandwidth, the US largest all VoIP carrier network, provides developer’s access to carrier-direct Voice and Messaging APIs Platform, providing REST APIs, BXML, and SDKs to build sales, lead generation and call analytics, OTT voice and messaging apps, SMS and MMS, conference calling, voicemail, transcription, call recording.

Can you imagine….how will:
– Next generation CRM systems get built around communications other than email?
– iOS and Android apps for self-service reimagine the typical customer service call center call with “contextual” mobile VoIP calls?
– Easy of use of SMS and MMS transform concierge and service across travel and hospitality CRM systems?
– Beyond Skype, how will the modern office and collaboration tools look when WebRTC is everywhere?

PowerMedia XMS is a software media server and video MCU for real time communications in SIP and/or WebRTC domains. Use PowerMedia XMS to add audio and video features such as:
– Conferencing
– Video mixing
– Recording
– Stream insertion/playback
– IVR/DTMF detection & response
– Transcoding
– WebRTC to standard SIP media plane interworking
– Video transizing and transrating

XMS’s standard media control interface support lets it plug into other TADHacks sponsors such as Telestax. PowerMedia XMS also offers a JavaScript API for WebRTC clients and RESTful API for media server control. Take a look at Vince’s winning myVirtualGolfLesson demo for some ideas on what PowerMedia XMS can do.

Getting Started
Go to Dialogic’s TADHack 2015 Landing Page for the most up-to-date developer resources.

Dialogic is offering a number of pre-configured Amazon Web Services (AWS) instances to help get you going in minutes. These instances include an optional Telestax integration. Contact Vince Puglia to get set up with an instance and a personalized quick-start.

Developer resources for hSenid Mobile APIs can be found here: hSenid Mobile DevSpace.

Ericsson’s SMS API enables the caller to send SMS messages to one or more mobile terminals.

Our Location API enables the caller to query the location of a mobile device.

Our Payment API enables the caller to charge/refund an end user.

M2M Data API (with Car Emulator) enables the authorized caller to read the car related data, change the status of the car and get the sensor data history of the car:
– How to read the car data
– How to control the car
– How to access the sensor data history
There is a Car Emulator to visualize all data which is associated with the vehicle.

For more information including slides and postman files for Ericsson APIs, you can go to the following TADHack blog article about Ericsson’s developer resources.

forge by Acision provides intelligent, developer- and enterprise-driven solutions which enable businesses to increase customer engagement, interaction and reach, while optimising sales opportunities, through a multi-channel communication approach.

We offer a unique portfolio of carrier-grade connectivity services, alongside a flexible API and SDK communication framework within a secure environment, which enables businesses and developers to actively build and manage direct dialogue and communication. With forge by Acision, secure voice calling, video chat, IM, group messaging and text messaging capabilities can be easily incorporated into websites and mobile applications and quickly deployed in a cloud-based environment.

In addition to the two $1k prizes from forge by Acision, we will also award a drone and two apple smart watches.

IoT Developer resources can be best accessed at the Intel Developer Zone. On this site you will find the IOT SDK, libraries, documentation, videos, blogs, and more.

You can also check out and download the Intel Collaboration Suite for WebRTC, a JavaScript library built on top of the W3C standard WebRTC API which simplifies development of real-time communication solutions.

Ardic will be providing their Web Services and APIs for the Istanbul TADHack event.

Matrix (matrix.org) is an open source distributed persistent messaging fabric with eventual consistency, open federation and strong cryptographic guarantees – used for securely exchanging messages and synchronising communication history between humans, devices and services with no single points of control or data ownership. It consists of an open standard defining RESTful HTTP APIs and open source, Apache-licensed reference server and client implementations for exchanging and persisting arbitrary JSON data. It can be to exchange group chat, voice or video calls, IoT data, or any information you could wish to publish/subscribe via an internet-wide open persistent messaging network.

We will be awarding a big bag of Tessel modules to each of the two best hacks using Matrix. Tessel is a new breed of development board that runs entirely on Node.js and comes with different modules you can plug in – for more information, see the Tessel getting started guide and Tessel sample projects. Both prizes will include several Tessel modules, including:
– multiple core Tessel boards
– multiple servo modules and many servo motors
– multiple ambient modules
– multiple accelerometer modules
– camera module
– GPS module with antenna
– microsd module
– bluetooth module
– audio module
– climate module
– relay module
– RFID module
– DIY module kit

The reference Matrix Web Client already supports WebRTC, so an idea for a hack would be to use or take inspiration from this code in your application. Please feel free to ask questions and chat to the matrix team in the official Matrix HQ chatroom!

The Telestax challenge will evaluate Restcomm apps targeting marketing automation. The winner and the runner up app will be offered commercialization terms through the Restcomm App Store to a target audience of over 100 million subscribers.

Call tracking technologies are popular because inbound calls are the most lucrative type of lead. They are the sales reps’ most favorite kind of lead, and therefore the marketers most valuable measure to generate and track.

A couple of ideas for apps:
– WordPress plugin shortcode that renders a unique phone number for the web page its used on. Calls to such phone numbers will be tracked and correlated to their corresponding web page in Google Analytics.
– HTML5 / JavaScript Call to Action widget, which renders a phone number and a Click To Call (WebRTC) button. Mobile or Web users can call-in to discuss the product or service offered on the page where the widget is located, without having to navigate generic IVR menus. The widget will be integrated with Restcomm and a Marketing Automation Platform (e.g. HubSpot, Act-On, Spokal) to help measure conversion rates from visitors to closed won deals.
