BlackBerry 10 now approved for use on US DoD networks

BlackBerry has announced that the U.S. Defense Information System Agency (DISA) has approved BlackBerry 10 for use on Department of Defense networks.
Right now there are two smartphones with BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10, the Z10 and the Q10.

The DISA is now building up capacity to support 30,000 BlackBerry 10 smartphones by the end of the year.

As the phone maker says: "BlackBerry 10 smartphones will enable DoD personnel to have the ability to securely connect to networks and access assets from work. The BlackBerry mobile infrastructure provides a highly responsive, intelligent and intuitive mobile computing experience while ensuring the personal and the corporate information on a user's phone are kept separate and safe."
