Bangalore: Two Indian teams are among the 10 teams shortlisted from Phase one for Cisco's global developer contest called 'Think Inside the Box'. This competition conducted by the networking giant saw the participation of over 110 teams and 900 registrants from 75 countries. Now, the 10 teams will battle it out for the three winning positions to win a share of the $100,000 prize pool.
The contest gives developers an opportunity to build exciting Linux-based applications on the Cisco Application Extension Platform (AXP). Suresh Kumar, Gopinath Bailur and Gokila Sudarshan, members of Team Ideate, and among the 10, have created an Application Suite for IP Telephony (ASIT). This suite is designed to bring savings to organizations by blocking unauthorized voice calls and reducing network operational costs by automating the telephony installation and verification processes.
The global contest 'Think Inside the Box' began in October 2008, and was an open challenge for engineers to stretch their imagination and create innovative prototypes with the Cisco Integrated Services Router AXP, an open network platform. This application developer contest conducted by Cisco promotes the concept of the network as a platform, and aims to recognize outstanding implementation ideas for application development.
