outages, to civil unrest and cyber-attacks, there are no shortages
of incidents that continue to challenge the way organizations and
departments maintain operations and keep people safe," said
David Wiseman, Vice President of
Secure Communications at BlackBerry. "BlackBerry AtHoc can be
deployed quickly to enable the most secure real-time information
