Announcing the Realtime AT&T IoT Starter Kit Challenge

We’re excited to announce that we’ve partnered up with AT&T to host the Realtime AT&T IoT Starter Kit Challenge, presented by Hackster.io. For three months, hackers from across the U.S. are invited to design and launch an IoT app using IoT Starter Kit and PubNub, with the opportunity to win some pretty awesome prizes.

Contest Details

All projects must use the AT&T IoT Starter Kit and PubNub. What you build with it, the sky’s the limit. For inspiration, check out the Ideas section of the contest (in fact, the top 50 ideas will receive a free AT&T Starter Kit). We’re looking for novel solutions that solve a real-world business need.

To sweeten the pot, the grand prize includes free trip to Las Vegas for AT&T Developer Conference on January 3-4, with domestic airfare and hotel on us!

Technology

The new all-in-one IoT Starter Kit to help developers jumpstart their IoT projects. The AT&T IoT Starter Kit provides all the tools needed for IoT innovation, including connectivity, LTE hardware, application services, cloud storage and more. Take advantage of next-generation 4G LTE connectivity, enabling tech innovators to create IoT solutions quickly and efficiently. This plug and play model means developers have a complete package to build their solutions from scratch.

Using PubNub along with the AT&T IoT Starter Kit, you can deploy Device Control for IoT and interact with connected devices from anywhere, traversing cellular networks, home firewalls, and multiple operating systems at ease. With PubNub you can also manage smart devices in real time for IoT secure messaging.

AT&T Flow Designer is an intuitive visual tool that makes it easy to design, prototype, and deploy IoT solutions. With this web-based tool you can connect visually create and connect multiple data sources, cloud services, and embedded devices.
