The Canadian company BlackBerry is no longer as popular as it was a few years ago, but its smartphones and software are still in demand and respect in the corporate segment due to high protection and a huge number of useful features that are not available on other mobile devices. According to the report of The Economic Times, BlackBerry intends to license the firmware BlackBerry Secure Android for other manufacturers of smartphones.

"We have a number of different contracts, on which we are currently working. We expect that some of them will be announced in the near future. We have an agreement with Optiemus to use BlackBerry Secure on the Indian market, "said BlackBerry Senior Vice President Alex Thurber.

Optiemus is one of three companies licensing the BlackBerry brand for the release of smartphones. The other two are TCL and BB Merah Putih. Thus, now BlackBerry is more like the former company Cyanogen, which created custom firmware for Android-devices.
