NEW YORK, June 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- SuperCom (NASDAQ: SPCB), a global
provider of secure solutions for the e-Government, Public Safety,
HealthCare, and Finance sectors, announced today that it has
shipped equipment for two new pilots in the Middle East of its COVID-19 citizen quarantine
and containment tracking technology solution. This shipment follows
the previous shipments of similar equipment for two other recently
announced pilots.
The solution, which is comprised of a proprietary secure
smartphone with an optional lightweight and waterproof
ankle-bracelet, is designed to assist government efforts in
combating the spread of the coronavirus through people location
tracking and stay-at-home compliance rules being implemented around
the globe. SuperCom has a demonstrated commitment to secured
boundaries projects which have been used to successfully identify,
monitor and validate credentials of tens of millions of people in
many countries across the globe in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia
and Latin America.
"We are continuing to see and pursue new opportunities related
to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Whether it is for
coronavirus home quarantine tracking or for electronic
offender tracking due to the release of prisoners, the COVID-19
pandemic continues to weigh on the supply-demand balance in our
industry. It seems our potential government customers are looking
to not only curb the current outbreaks their nations might be
experiencing, but also proactively prepare for potential future
waves and spreads of infectious diseases. This pandemic caught many
nations by surprise and preventive planning, we believe, is
important as well. We are proud to have opportunities to try help
with both current outbreaks, and future ones," said Arie
Trabelsi, President and CEO of SuperCom.
"We are still facing quite a challenge. The quantities of units
in discussion, for numerous countries in parallel, is higher than
we have seen before. We are in the process of increasing our
manufacturing capabilities to allow production of higher quantities
of units in short time frames while maintaining the quality and
excellence of our products. Tracking locations of individuals
accurately and securely is difficult. It takes years of experience
and significant investment to master, especially when you're
looking for a solution to function almost anywhere in the world. We
have struck a compassionate balance between citizen comfort and
convenience while providing government agencies with the safety and
security features they need to confidently monitor those with
location restrictions, such as home containment. Our
technology is scalable, designed for rapid deployment and highly
configurable for multiple risk levels and containment models. It
has been deployed across the globe and proven successful in
different environments and infrastructures," concluded Arie
Trabelsi.
SuperCom's COVID-19 quarantine technology solution is comprised
of products in SuperCom's PureHealth technology suite to include
the PureCare smartphone and additional security accessories. The
PureCare smartphone is easy to operate and carry, providing a
familiar form factor for those requiring its use. The PureCare
smartphone is infused with proprietary software that provides
citizens with an easy to use interface that helps them understand
their location restrictions and facilitates two way communication
with healthcare or other monitoring agencies. PureCare accessories
include the PureTag Bluetooth ankle bracelet. Weighing only 2
ounces, the PureTag ankle bracelet requires no charging, is
ergonomic, hypoallergenic and provides an extra secure validation
layer. PureMonitor, SuperCom's proprietary cloud based command and
control software, receives all field device generated data and
presents agencies with easily digestible and actionable
intelligence.
