BlackBerry Ltd. said it would create a new business unit to hold technology assets, such as its Internet of Things project.
The unit also will include BlackBerry's QNX mobile-connection software, Certicom cryptography applications, Paratek antenna-technology assets and the company's portfolio of 44,000 patents.
