BlackBerry Scores “Full Operational Capability” On U.S. Department Of Defense Networks

Score two for BlackBerry in two days.

Today BlackBerry announced that they are the first mobility solution to earn the U.S. Defense’s coveted Full Operational Capability (FOC) designation. FOC completes BlackBerry’s security certification process for the U.S. Department of Defense, enabling US government employees to realize the full productivity and security benefits of the BlackBerry 10 platform. For example, government employees can use BlackBerry Balance technology, which allows them to toggle between work and personal profiles. BlackBerry provides the only DoD-approved devices with this “dual personality” capability. That capability comes from BlackBerry Secure Work Space which yesterday was announced to be FIPS-140-2.

Thus BlackBerry seems to be on a roll. Let’s see if that helps their numbers which are due on Friday.
