BlackBerry and Fast Telecom announced that they have signed a distribution agreement. 
As part of the agreement, Fast Telecom now offers BlackBerry devices to customers across the region, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Egypt and Morocco. 
"Today, Fast Telecom and BlackBerry have signed an agreement that will enhance the footprint of BlackBerry devices and widen the company's distribution network for mobile devices in Middle East and North Africa," said Mohammed Albarghuthi, the co-chairman of Fast Telecom.
"We are excited to partner with Fast Telecom in the Mena region, as part of our strategy to increase our market reach in the region and expand our global distribution network," said John Chen, executive chairman and chief executive officer of BlackBerry. "BlackBerry's security, privacy and productivity is unmatched and we look forward to making it available to an even wider market segment." 
Building on Fast Telecom's wide distribution reach, high level service standards, vast network of trade partners and almost 20 years of distribution experience, the new partnership will bring the innovative and secure BlackBerry devices across more territories. 
"PRIV by BlackBerry, the first-ever BlackBerry smartphone powered by Android, combines the best of BlackBerry's productivity, security and privacy features with the wide world of Google Play store apps, so we expect sales to be strong," added Fast Telecom.
