Transmit data on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server MDS channel

If we install IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation in an environment that includes a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, we can use the BlackBerry MDS channel to transmit MobileFirst data.

Figure 1 shows an environment in which apps installed on BlackBerry devices transmit data using the BlackBerry MDS channel. When we install IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation in environments such as these, we can configure MobileFirst data to use the same channel.

On the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, configure an MDS connection service to the MobileFirst Server or to its intermediary proxy server. For information about how to configure an MDS connection service, see the BlackBerry Enterprise Server documentation.
