Solaiemes is sponsoring TADHACK 2014 - Telecom Application Developer Hackaton (organized by Alan Quayle) to be held in Madrid next June 6-7, and providing the RCS network API to engage telco developers in starting to use rich messaging to create compelling cases, application to person (A2P/B2C) and also why not person to thing (M2P). Also developers can create use cases combining several telco APIs offered for the Hackaton including voice, sms, and related features by Telestax, Nexmo, Tropo and hSenid.
The TADHACK hackaton is offering several prizes ($) and it is open to remote entries not only onsite participants.
You may register at our RCS API Portal Sandbox (http://tadhackrcs.solaiemes.com/) powered by 3scale API management and including a testbed to test your cases. For this event we offered the simplest REST API for RCS, including features as chat, file transfer, location and real time notifications (delivered, displayed). The portal included all the API documentation and examples. Also a simple "echo service" can be used as base to start with, find it here in Github.
Just to complete the series of RCS as a Platform vision we just uploaded the final demo explaining the concept for RCS Service Store. Our RCS API GW (RCS Solution Gateway) includes the management database to create "the store" of the rich chat based cases created with the API.
The "Store" has an API to get integrated with RCS clients or create Store-Apps independent from clients. Easily, the users may search for RCS services (banks, customer care, chat based games, learning tools, info services) and add them as a contacts. From the "app-store" to the "service-store". It would mean a new concept of app, not consuming memory, no needing updated in the mobile side, just a contact in the phonebook.
Greatest things are the simple ones. See how it works watching this video.
Finally Firefox OS is taking off. The web as a platform in this new concept of smartphones matches completely with the Solaiemes vision of keeping telco stuff at telco side, and build the communication experience witht the telco API exposure.
Solaiemes already has a HTML5 client for Firefox OS to be tested by telcos in the market. It is based on the standard OMA RCS API exposed by RCS Thin Client Server product, compatible with all RCS core solutions (ZTE, Newpace, Ericsson, etc) and even with SIP Servers as Kamailio.
We are offering to test it in our RCS-Lab environment and test also the concept of chateable services (info services, casual games, self-service CRM) that you can also create easily with the REST API.
It's time for telcos comitted with Firefox OS to take an active role in enriching the platform with useful services and also create a framework for open innovation with 3rd parties using joyn API.
Developers can now work in a way to create alternative UX to use their services using enriched messaging: chat, group chat, file transfer, location push, etc. In this new platform joyn and OTT messaging are departing from the same line, and telcos can take the lead if move faster, just try :)
We are offering trial package for telcos including:
- 6 months license for RCS Thin Client Server (powering joyn client comms) & RCS Solution GW powering the 3rd Party exposure API to create A2P & M2P cases.
- Integrating with telco RCS full core (IMS + IM AS), IMS or using a SIP server as core. We can provide with a partner a hosted RCS Core if needed.
- Developer portal with testbed pc client to test easily the use cases based on joyn created.
- Training to internal developers and telco developer partners & Hackaton participation.
- A package of hours to help the telco to create own proof of concepts of joyn based service.
- Upon request support.
We are presenting a new demo to demonstrate the use cases of joyn as a platform for services.
A casual game based on chat interaction which also can be a learning tool has been creating by combining our RCS network API and a content API, a linguistic API by our friends of Molino de Ideas, see APIcultur.
Also, we unveil how these services can be offered for free to the users and monetized with smart advertisement & couponing, with perfect targetting as you can find the right sponsor to the use case offered. In-joyn-advergaming is born :-)
Quick service development, easy mash-up combining APIs, smart advertisement space, fun for the user...let's think in joyn because the person to person messaging initial case.
San Francisco and Madrid (PRWEB) November 28, 2012 Voxeo Labs and Solaiemes announced today a strategic partnership to deliver web-based video calling to current mobile subscribers using their existing phone number and address book. The combined Voxeo Labs/Solaiemes solution enables mobile and fixed carriers to reach a global audience allowing customers to chat, share pictures and engage in real-time video chat from any device with an Internet connection and modern web browser. This announcement comes at the heels of two major developments in the communications industry. The first is RCS/joyn, a global upgrade of telco infrastructure promising to enable rich media and video calling features combined with messaging, similar to Apple’s iMessage and FaceTime, on any carrier network or mobile device. The second major development is the emerging web technology, WebRTC. WebRTC standardizes access to the camera and microphone in modern web browsers. The technology provides any web developer the ability to easily add high-quality audio and video technology to existing websites and social networks. Voxeo Labs is one of four editors developing the WebRTC specification along with Mozilla, Cisco and Ericsson. “It’s a perfect match,” says Voxeo Labs CTO, Jose de Castro. “Solaiemes already has a mature platform for embedding mobile texting, presence and media sharing onto the web so adding real-time voice and video was the next logical step. Our Phono WebRTC Gateway plugged right in to complete the end-to-end solution.” With these technologies, carrier marketing teams can think outside the phone to deliver truly unique multi-screen experiences. Now ‘triple play’ carriers offering high speed Internet, television and phone service can leverage their position in the home to further push the boundaries of family conversations and introduce a new wave of social-powered entertainment. “Teaming with Voxeo Labs, the leader in WebRTC, Solaiemes RCS Thin Client Server solution offers to carriers a full joyn/RCS experience (messaging, file transfer, rich video call) in any platform with a web browser (mobile, tablet, desktop, TV),” says Solaiemes co-founder, José Recio. “Combining Rich Communication Suite network API and WebRTC make joyn an ubiquitous carrier-backed service, jumping ahead OTT solutions and genuinely useful to customers”. The new WebRTC powered gateway will be offered and sold by Solaiemes as an upgrade to their existing RCS Thin Client Server in early 2013. About Voxeo Labs Voxeo Labs invests in core platform research, incubates revolutionary ideas and innovates new communications solutions in collaboration with our partners and carrier customers. The company leads the real-time web communications industry with their work on WebRTC, Tropo and related technologies.

We had the chance as technology partner for RCS API of the joyn Innovation Accelerator to expose our views about joyn monetization via API with our business vision for messaging
and examples of what can be done on top of messaging with the API
(A2P-P2A use cases and alternative endpoints or clients) in the Workshop the past November, 8th in Berlin.
Find below our slides:
Also you can find all the slides of all of presenters including Newpace as Hosted RCS-e technology partner of JIA, GSMA staff working with the API and the RCS Marketing Team and the Deutsche Telekom representative that explained their plans regarding joyn API, you can download the full pack of slides here.
The developers attending make interesting questions after the presentations and the later networking, we receive some feedback in the same way we are receiving from developers we know well, banks, big retailers, utilities like the Apps but they are asking for some common reach mechanism to interact with their customers, a new SMS full multimedia. It makes clear the joyn potential for value added services.
