Sierra Wireless Inc. and Wavefront have launched the "Sierra Wireless-Wavefront Developer Challenge", which aims to find best-in-class enterprise or consumer applications that take advantage of the mobile broadband and GPS capabilities built into Sierra Wireless PC cards, ExpressCards, and USB modems.

The six-month challenge will be open to all sectors of the developer community, including those developing for Location Based Services (LBS), New Media, Social Networking and other related applications that benefit from mobile broadband data speeds.

Shortlisted applicants will be given a Sierra Wireless software development kit and the opportunity to attend a development training session with Sierra Wireless to assist in building their applications. Best-in-class winners will be selected in October and will receive promotional support from Sierra Wireless for their applications.

The challenge is open to applicants from around the world. Registration for the challenge is beginning in April 2008, with a launch event to be held on April 23rd in Vancouver.
