By Sean Labrock, Fri Dec 9th
BLACKBERRY Yesterday, it was the PDA. Tomorrow, well, who knows. Today, though, it is the Blackberry.
More and more, blackberries are being used in the workplace.They are very clever little devices and have a host ofapplications. So, what is a blackberry? The Blackberry website defines the blackberry as a combinationof "award winning devices, software and services to keep mobileprofessionals in touch with the people, data and resources thatdrive their day." A better definition might be to define theblackberry as a hand-held device which serves as a personalorganizer, wireless Internet browser, phone,speakerphone, long-range digital walkie-talkie, and mini-laptopwhich can send and receive email correspondence from just aboutanywhere. The features, of course, depend on the particular model. Who is Using Blackberry? The use of Blackberry has exploded in many industries frompolice departments to construction companies to Madison Avenueadvertising agencies. Just last year, the http://www.NJLawman.comwebsite covered a story where the Los Angeles Police Departmentput 200 units into operation for their senior commanders. Theidea behind it was to free these officers from their computersallowing them to spend more time in the field. Blackberries come in all sizes and shapes with many uses inmind. Clearly, industries needing the ability to communicatesensitive information were considered during the initialplanning. Triple DES and AES encryption are available for both theBlackberry servers and the Blackberry units themselves.Additional software and applications are also available fromseveral companies. This, obviously, is a sought feature for organizations requiringthat
extra level of security. There is an large amount of software available for Blackberrydevices, and some were specifically designed for specificindustries. In fact, there are too many to mention, but it is tothe point where you can do just about anything on yourBlackberry that you can do on your pc computer. For example, in the law enforcement field a suspect can be runthrough a nationwide warrant system by a police officer from thecomfort of the officer's horse. Narcotics officers who have justexecuted a search warrant can pull up pictures of arrestedpersons to compare with the suspects in the house. Detectivescan run license plates without ever using the radio. Commanderscan call into headquarters from a crime scene and use thespeakerphone feature so others can participate in theconversation. All of this is from a device about the size of a cell phone. For private industry, there are even more available features,and new ones are added every day. Blackberries range in price from $99. to $500. and can bepurchased in both retail stores and online. If you are looking to research a purchase, you should contact aBlackberry representative to determine exactly which model andsoftware you need for your purposes and which pricing plan wouldbe right for you. Technology is the future, and right now the future incommunications is Blackberry.
