The current boom in AI has turned a previously little-known Japanese company into a star on the stock market. Fujikura, which has been in existence for the past 139 years, has shot to fame because of its longstanding excellence in making cables for data centers.

Since the beginning of this year, the shares of this company have seen a whopping 400% rise in value. Consequently, Fujikura is top of the best performing stocks on the Stock Average Index of the Nikkei 225. Because of this stellar performance, the company made its debut on the MSCI’s worldwide standard indexes. This is a notable feat given that Fujikura is the sole enterprise from Japan to be included while eight companies from the country lost their positions on this prestigious listing the same day that the data center cable maker made its entry.

During the California Gold Rush in the 1840s to 1850s, fortunes were made by firms that sold shovels and picks; the tools used to dig up the earth in the quest for gold. Fujikura can be seen in the same light. Tech companies are racing to build out their data center capacity in order to claim a share of the growing market for AI solutions, and Fujikura is providing the highly sought-after cabling needed to wire those data centers and connect them to the power grid.

So, why is this little-known Japanese company suddenly attracting so much attention? The answer lies in three words, fiber optic cables. Fujikura manufactures fiber optic cables, and the company has earned a remarkable industry-wide reputation for producing cables having the smallest diameter. So far, no other firm beats Fujikura at this. Consequently, the firm’s cables have risen in demand because companies building data centers can install these cables without doing any extra tunneling.

The company’s CFO, Kazuhito Iijima, says the demand for their products started rising back in 2022. He reveals that the company didn’t immediately know why so many data centers were being constructed at the time and it was only this year that it dawned upon them that artificial intelligence requirements were behind this surge.

Bloomberg News analysts say at least a trillion dollars will be invested in constructing communications networks, data centers and setting up power supplies for the AI industry. McKinsey & Company forecasts a 33% yearly growth in data center demand around the world until 2030. These projections show that companies like Fujikura are well positioned to benefit from this boom in AI.

Other companies like McEwen Mining Inc. (NYSE: MUX) (TSX: MUX) that extract minerals like gold and copper, critical for establishing AI infrastructure, could also see their revenues grow significantly as the artificial intelligence industry continues to require more resources.

• The state of Illinois has been struggling with the need to find space in juvenile detention facilities for offenders, due to the state’s problems with staffing levels, quality of services, and watchdog complaints about the quality of juvenile detention facilities and services
• The state is now using electronic monitoring (“EM”) as a must-have alternative to the shuttered or reduced detention facilities
• Israel-based SuperCom is a global leader in EM technology innovations that provide greater security, discretion and functionality than industry-standard tracking models
• SuperCom has secured a number of significant contracts during the past year, adding to the reputation the company has been building since 1988

A dearth of confinement options for juvenile crime suspects in Illinois highlights the importance of effective electronic monitoring (“EM”). Amid concerns about lax standards, staffing shortages, a fatal shooting, and hundreds of child abuse allegations involving juvenile detention centers that have been shuttered throughout the state (https://ibn.fm/hKWKY), Illinois court officers are turning to EM technology as their only option.

Two recent cases note juveniles were arrested because of concerns about violent behavior — one involving gun violations (https://ibn.fm/BEpRq) and another involving threats against a school administrator and fellow students (https://ibn.fm/DaO1l).

EM technology innovator SuperCom (NASDAQ: SPCB) is building clientele worldwide thanks to its strong reputation for competitive products and services that respond to the type of need being so urgently demonstrated in Illinois.

SuperCom’s end-to-end solution is an improvement over the bulky ankle monitors that have become the industry standard. Its GPS tracking technology is a sleek, waterproof design that can be worn discreetly while providing the means for reliable offender tracking and 24/7 monitoring, as well as seamless notification to authorities and identified potential victims through common smartphone functionality.

The solution — the PureSecurity platform — tracks the monitored individuals’ location in real-time, including a three-dimensional footprint based on elevation measurement, while also monitoring the location of participating victims in cases such as domestic violence incidents.

The company has announced several new contracts in the United States and Europe during the past year and has served over 50 governments and 100,000 individuals since its founding in 1988.

On Nov. 14, SuperCom discussed its financial results for the third quarter during a conference call with investors (https://ibn.fm/1anLt). Earlier, during a recent appearance at a micro-cap conference, company executives highlighted a $32 million project in Romania. SuperCom President and CEO Ordan Trabelsi stated the contract is “substantial” because Romania has some 15,000 offenders that will be monitored through the program, and it is moving toward establishing the contract as a reference point for other potential clients.

“If you put someone on house arrest, you’re saving 90% of the costs, direct costs (of incarceration),” Trabelsi said during the conference (https://ibn.fm/p7tb5). “Over half a percent of the U.S. is in prison. That’s a very high rate; certainly not effective, not cost-effective, and not effective in terms of increasing public safety.”

• Two incidents of domestic violence-related homicides in Maine help illustrate the importance of court-administered electronic monitoring programs for staving off violence between domestic partners after relationships break down
• With a track record of over 50 governments and 100,000 individuals served, SuperCom is innovating advanced electronic monitoring (“EM”) solutions to establish safeguards for potential victims
• SuperCom’s solution uses GPS technology to track the movements of domestic violence defendants, helping prevent further violence while also alerting law enforcement and potential victims if court-imposed boundaries are trespassed

Electronic monitoring technology developer SuperCom (NASDAQ: SPCB) provides products and services that help clients track people under their supervision. Its solutions are primarily used by police and court agencies to monitor the movements of individuals released pretrial, on probation after conviction, or on parole following incarceration.

Concerns about the incidence of domestic violence are increasingly leading to the use of EM monitoring for individuals accused of such crimes. A U.S. Department of Justice grant to research the use of EM in domestic violence cases in two locations, published in 2004, found that the use of radio frequency (“RF”) devices to track domestic violence defendants and protect potential victims was received by the victims as “useful enhancements to their safety” (https://ibn.fm/rWaLA).

Nevertheless, the application of EM in helping to protect potential domestic violence victims is far from universal.

A recent news report on two instances of domestic violence-related homicides in Maine noted that electronic monitoring is only available for pretrial inmates in nine of the state’s 16 counties and is only used sparingly in all but two of those counties. According to the report, counties that don’t use EM say that bad cell reception and tight staffing make GPS monitoring challenging and many sheriffs say it’s too expensive (https://ibn.fm/9NxOU).

The fathers of the two homicide victims pointed to electronic monitoring as a solution that could have saved their daughters’ lives and have taken on an advocacy role in seeking wider use of the technology.

SuperCom’s mission has been to make its PureSecurity EM platform available to agencies throughout the United States and Europe to enhance public safety efforts. The company was founded in 1988 and has served over 50 governments and 100,000 individuals.

The company’s leadership has announced several new contracts in the United States and Europe during the past year, many of them related to domestic violence monitoring.

“If you put someone on house arrest, you’re saving 90% of the costs, direct costs,” SuperCom President and CEO Ordan Trabelsi said during a recent appearance at micro-cap conference platform LD Micro’s 17th annual invitational event (https://ibn.fm/N1Luk). “We won a $32 million project in Romania. Not only is that a substantial new project because Romania’s never done this before — and we’re talking about 15,000 offenders that we would be monitoring at any given point over the course of six years — but it also gives us a strong reference for any other projects around the world of similar size.”

SuperCom’s GPS technology is packaged in a sleek, waterproof design that improves on the bulky ankle monitors worn in other programs. It has a battery life of up to one year, eliminating the need for continuous daily recharging with an electrical source, and it is unobtrusive, allowing defendants to continue working and functioning in society without being stigmatized by obvious devices.

The platform’s advanced technology tracks the defendants’ location in real-time, including their elevation (for in-building details), while also relating to the location of participating victims, notifying the victim and local authorities about any incidents of trespassing the boundaries established by the law enforcement agencies.

SuperCom provides 24/7 monitoring services to support agencies in various programs, including inmate monitoring within prisons, rehabilitation initiatives, and substance abuse monitoring for individuals prohibited from consuming alcohol.

• SuperCom is an electronic monitoring (“EM”) innovator helping to establish public safety and well-being through the use of advanced technology and monitoring services for government clients that make increasing use of supervised-release programs
• During a recent investor presentation at the annual LD Micro Invitational, SuperCom’s president and CEO, Ordan Trabelsi, outlined the company’s services and critical benefits to clientele, along with the company’s corresponding success with over 50 governments and 100,000 individuals served
• SuperCom anticipates that its $32 million contract in Romania, largely focused on monitoring domestic violence offenders, will help boost its credibility with other European governments running monitoring programs of a similar nature

Governments worldwide are turning to electronic monitoring (“EM”) solutions as a means of sustaining public safety and reducing repeat criminal behavior while also reducing the costs associated with imprisoning individuals — a trend outlined by EM innovator SuperCom (NASDAQ: SPCB) at a recent investor LD Micro presentation. SuperCom President and CEO Ordan Trabelsi explained the competitive edge of the company’s GPS-enabled PureSecurity platform, among a narrow field of rivals, during his appearance at LD Micro’s 17th annual invitational on Oct. 30 (https://ibn.fm/XPMXE). Trabelsi participated in one-on-one interviews with potential investors over the course of the event’s three days in Southern California.

SuperCom was founded in 1988 and has a track record of serving over 50 governments and 100,000 individuals. Its CAGR is above 60%, with 73% recurring revenue and a five-year EBITDA of $4.8 million as of last year.

“Our run-rate this year is even higher. We had a run-rate of at least $7.2 million EBITDA,” Trabelsi said.

SuperCom’s end-to-end solution provides a developed GPS technology for reliable offender tracking and 24/7 monitoring services to give criminal justice clients the confidence they need to operate supervised-release programs that allow select individuals to remain free from incarceration, potentially productive at their jobs and homes, at a fraction of incarceration costs.

“Over half a percent of the U.S. is in prison. That’s a very high rate; certainly not effective, not cost-effective, and not effective in terms of increasing public safety. … If you put someone on house arrest, you’re saving 90% of the costs, direct costs,” Trabelsi said. “And that’s just a sign that we need to improve things in the U.S., and also in other areas of the world, there’s room for improvement.”

SuperCom’s strategy is particularly focused on domestic violence cases in which any specifically identified victims or potential victims, as well as the authorities, can be notified by smartphone of the offender’s proximity before any physical danger arises.

“(It’s) one of the things that we in SuperCom are leaders in the world. We probably have more units in domestic violence than any other player out there,” Trabelsi said at the LD Micro event.

The technology is an improvement over bulky ankle monitors, offering instead a sleek, waterproof device that can be worn unobtrusively without drawing attention from other people. It has a battery life of up to one year, eliminating the need for continuous daily recharging with an electrical source.

SuperCom currently provides services in California’s large EM market and many other parts of Europe and the United States.

“We won a $32 million project in Romania,” Trabelsi said. “Not only is that a substantial project because Romania’s never done this before — and we’re talking about 15,000 offenders that we would be monitoring at any given point over the course of six years — but it also gives us a strong reference for any other projects around the world of similar size.”

The company’s services also include inmate monitoring in prisons, rehabilitation services and substance abuse monitoring — continuously evaluating a monitored subject’s alcohol intake through sweat-sensitive sensors, for example — and Trabelsi noted the company’s technology could work well for other services as well, although the company’s small size has led its officers to limit their focus to the most profitable opportunities at the moment.

“Our solutions create positive social impact and improve public safety worldwide,” Trabelsi said. “We see this over and over in various regions. We’re helping with saving the lives of potential victims. We’re aiding in eradicating domestic violence. We’re increasing public safety and well-being.”
