TEL AVIV, Israel, March 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/
--SuperCom (NASDAQ: SPCB), a global provider of

bracelet, which will help persons comply with their quarantine
requirements. This solution is designed to assist government
efforts in combating the spread of the virus through proven
location tracking and stay-at-home compliance rules being
implemented around the globe.
The pilot, which offered travelers arriving at Israel's International airport to go on home
quarantine for 10-14 days with the Purecare technology and program,
received high demand with over 91% choosing to opt in for the
program. Travelers on the program reported, through interviews on
Israeli public news channels, very positive and comfortable
experiences with a high rate of satisfaction for choosing the
program.
Accordingly, the ministry of health in Israel expressed immediate demand for a high
quantity of bracelet based covid-19 quarantine solution units to
assist them in opening up the Israel international airports for large amount
of passengers daily. In light of this demand and a surge in
interest from multiple other nations, Supercom has significantly
increased its potential production capacity to over 20,000 units
per month, highest among its industry peers. The currently
discussed covid-19 compliance program in Israel is full service, which means the
technology itself and full services including installation,
training for users, support, monitoring, and reporting.
In various full-service programs in the United States , the company typically
charges above $10 per day per unit,
or an annuilized run rate of above $3650 per unit. Although pricing in this program
could be different.
"We are very pleased with this pilot, utilizing our proprietary
technology with persons under home-quartantine in Israel, and we are proud to help Israel validate an important strategy to help
mitigate the spread of the coronavirus," commented Ordan Trabelsi, President and CEO of
SuperCom.
"As new coronavirus mutations continue to spread, governments
and healthcare agencies continue searching for tools that assist
their efforts in fighting this pandemic. After testing different
variations of our technology and program structures, we believe we
may have achieved a comprehensive solution for comfortable and
effective quarantine compliance. We have increased our production
capacity to allow rapid deployment of thousands of units, and
invite more nations around the world to pilot our technology and
solution as well, " concluded Ordan
