Showcasing at CES: PubNub and Ford AppLink Dispatch App

At VentureBeat’s DevBeat conference earlier this year, PubNub took home gold at the Ford Motor Co.’s Makeathon. PubNub’s Geremy Cohen built a real-time dispatch app on PubNub and Ford AppLink, providing real-time location tracking and notification via mobile phone to a car’s dashboard. We like to say we’re bringing the Internet of Things communication and technology to cars.

Congrats to @pubnub and @glassboardhack on winning the Ford Makeathon App Developer Challenge and Ford TDKs at #devbeat!

Today, we’re pleased to announce that we’ll be showcasing the app at Ford’s booth at CES, so drop by and check it out! Our CEO Todd Greene on the integration:

“The Internet of Things promises humanity amazing omnipotence over our environment. Access to real-time information from millions of globally connected devices, and the ability to instantly control them becomes possible, but only if these devices can transact information quickly and reliably to each other, to servers, and to end-user devices. PubNub showcases the power and ease-of-use of our Data Stream Network to deliver these kinds of experiences at Ford’s booth at CES with our integration to Ford’s AppLink platform.”
