Is there a way to get the AtHoc mobile app onto the BlackBerry App Store? BlackBerry owns AtHoc now but the mobile app we need within the DoD is only available on two other brands.

Not unless BlackBerry puts it there.

Big shakeup at DoD coming. In with the new, out with the old. NATO selected the Desktop Alert MNS and the Desktop Alert NATIVE BB App and the 1st test of the DTA app sent an alert from Brussels NATO to New Jersey USA was in 3 tenths of one second. What DoD needs is a system that works. When lives are at stake, seconds count, not brand names and lobbying or waiting around for alerts for ever. When nobody else was around the incumbent was the best. Google: "NATO Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) Deploys Desktop Alert Networked Mass Notification Platform" This was a fiercely competed account. DTA now being distributed worldwide to NATO countries with the latest signup coming from NATO Allied Command Transformation Norfolk Virginia. This less than one minute alert platform has just been patented. Google: "Desktop Alert Issued Patent for Rapid Life-Safety and Emergency Communication Implementation and Deployment Technology." If a mobile alerting APP is jammed to the throat with Chotskies's, besides the overhead demand to the mobile phones battery it becomes very confusing to the end user during emergencies. i.e. 50+ menu options and an endless myriad of features. Create Alert, Send Alert, Receive Alert, Respond to Alert. Everything else falls into the 99% never used category and works best for image inserts in brochures.
