Pentagon Could Be The Saviour Of BlackBerry
Jan 22, 2014, 15:28 IST
While many had predicted the Canadian mobile manufacturer will die a slow death over the next couple of years. It seems like the company could bounce back. The latest reports suggest Pentagon will support and be using BlackBerry devices. The pentagon already has 80,000 BB smartphones in use on their campus and should be procuring more. The US department of defence has chosen BlackBerry to supply phones to its employees along with few other manufacturers.
This is good news for the ailing company as the move will infuse fresh funds to the system enabling them to make a comeback. But more than the phones sales going up, Blackberry will benefit from the services they render. Managing such a big secured network for the US defence department will result in heavy pay out and will put a priced penny in their pockets.
BlackBerry should make the most of this resource and try to re-gather itself for the next chapter of smartphones and maybe another jab at the tablet business. It could be too early to say, but things might just be looking up for BlackBerry.
