BlackBerry Limited (NYSE:BB) (TSX:BB) announced on Thursday that Direct ChassisLink, Inc. (DCLI) will deploy its asset-tracking technology across 100,000 domestic chassis as part of a fleet-wide digital upgrade.

The expansion of BlackBerry Radar into DCLI’s DCL53 fleet marks a significant step in their five-year partnership. The move aims to enhance operational efficiency, asset visibility, and customer value across the intermodal freight network.
