元器件交易网讯  6月17日消息，据外媒报道，黑莓公司在周一发布一款安全版本BBM即时信息服务——BBM Protected 以获取利润。

　　黑莓指出虽然BBM Protected智能对企业用户的，但特殊的加密安全环境聊天并不仅仅局限在公司内部，用户也在其他公司利用BBM Protected进行交流。

　　现在，安全版本BBM仅适用于黑莓6或更高版本，BlackBerry 10只支持设备处于监管模式。该公司计划为iOS和Android以及不在监管模式的BlackBerry 10设备提供提供BBM Protected。

　　黑莓手机业务仍然疲弱，公司一直试图从BBM中找到不同的方式赚钱，包括在新兴市场投入该服务。

　　外媒原文如下：

　　As CEO John Chen had pledged BlackBerry would do, the company on Monday released a secure version of its BBM instant messaging service.

　　Chats using BBM Protected can be within a company using the secure version of the service or among people at different companies, so long as both are using the service. For now, the secure version of BBM only works with BlackBerry 6 or later, with BlackBerry 10 only supported when devices are used in regulated mode. The company plans to offer versions of BBM Protected for iOS and Android, as well as for BlackBerry 10 devices not in regulated mode.

　　With its handset business still weak, BlackBerry has been trying to find different ways to make money from BBM, including using the service in emerging markets to send money.

　　“There isn’t a single monetization model here that needs to ubiquitously work or be forced on things,” said David Proulx, senior director of BBM Business Development, in a March interview.

　　BlackBerry has launched a trial in Indonesia to use BBM to send money. Proulx said the company plans to expand that this year to other countries.
