• Agencies and nonprofits serving domestic violence victims are seeing an increase in victim numbers
• With typical pressures on funding, governments require a cost-effective solution that can help keep victims safe while maintaining supervision of domestic violence offenders under court-ordered supervision
• SuperCom’s PureSecurity electronic monitoring suite offers governments a cost-effective solution for monitoring offenders through GPS monitoring, home detention, domestic violence prevention, and more

SuperCom (NASDAQ: SPCB), a provider of secured solutions for the e-government, IoT, and cybersecurity sector, is on a mission to revolutionize the public safety sector worldwide through proprietary electronic monitoring technology, data intelligence, and complementary services.  The company’s technology comes at a time when there is an increased need for cost-effective monitoring solutions for dealing with various offenders’ populations such as domestic violence offenders, prison inmates, and more.

In the case of the United States, victims of domestic violence turn to local agencies and nonprofits for services and support. Many of these establishments utilize federal funding to run their operations – primarily funding established through the Victims of Crime Act (“VOCA”). Funding through VOCA has decreased over the last five years, and these agencies and nonprofits are often forced to downsize their operations despite the growing number of domestic violence victims. This further pressures the government to implement the most cost-effective solutions for dealing with offenders and keeping victims safe.

Berg Insight reported that the total market for the electronic monitoring of offenders in the United States, Europe, and Latin America, totaled $1.2 billion in 2021. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.8%, resulting in an estimated value of $2.1 billion by 2026. The market’s growth can be attributed to the growing adoption of GPS-based and smartphone-based solutions. The evolution of technology is also a contributing factor, with modern data analytics tools making it increasingly possible to identify offender behavior patterns and possibly predict future electronic monitoring violations or offenses (https://ibn.fm/3GcyQ).

SuperCom’s proprietary PureSecurity suite is an all-in-one, field-proven offender monitoring system, with services such as GPS monitoring, home detention, domestic violence prevention, and more. The suite is specifically tailored to meet each client’s needs. By leveraging the power of AI, SuperCom’s PureSecurity platform can offer new abilities, such as amplified data analysis, predictive modeling, and streamlined automation – geared toward optimizing decision-making and operational efficiency.

SuperCom’s technology offers competitive advantages, including:

• Long Battery Life (No Tag Charging Required)
• Ultra Lightweight Form Factor
• Next-Gen Location Tech
• Protection of Domestic Violence Victims
• And More

SuperCom’s PureSecurity suite for electronic monitoring under court-ordered programs includes the company’s GPS enrollee digital tracking platform PureTrack, the PureTag wearable RF bracelet, the PureOne one-piece tracking device, and the home-based PureCom station. The solution makes it more affordable for governments to track domestic violence offenders, reducing the number of incarcerations, reducing costs, and maintaining their dedication to protecting the victims of acts of domestic violence.

Ordan Trabelsi, SuperCom’s President and CEO, said in a November 14, 2023 press release that the company was uniquely positioned to capitalize on the increasing global demand for secured electronic monitoring solutions is strategically investing in the continuous improvement of its offerings, extending its reach into new markets, which is already yielding promising results in the U.S. and other regions (https://ibn.fm/Dagog). “Our focus remains on driving innovation, enhancing operational efficiencies, and delivering exceptional value to our customers and stakeholders,” Trabelsi said. “We are confident that our strategic decisions will further propel us towards achieving our long-term objectives and securing SuperCom’s position as a leader in the industry.”

SOBRsafe (NASDAQ: SOBR) is a provider of a game-changing transdermal (touch-based) alcohol detection technology that can improve workplace safety and provides advanced screening and monitoring solutions for the behavioral health industry.

Alcohol misuse is the fourth leading cause of preventable death in the U.S., and the seventh worldwide. Nearly half of all industrial accidents with injuries are alcohol-related, and 1-in-10 U.S. commercial drivers tests positive for alcohol – the highest rate in the world. Despite these statistics, prevention and monitoring solutions have not kept pace with this epidemic. Legacy detection technologies are invasive and inefficient, unhygienic and unconnected. SOBRsafe believes there is a better way.

The company has developed a patent-pending alcohol detection device called SOBRcheck(TM) for use in detecting alcohol in humans, with just the touch of a finger. SOBRsafe’s next-generation transdermal technology detects and instantaneously reports the presence of alcohol as emitted through a user’s skin. No breath, blood or urine sample is required. SOBRsafe believes its technology is a superior, hygienic alternative to traditional breathalyzers for frontline, preventative applications.

With a powerful backend data platform, SOBRsafe provides humane, passive and connected alcohol detection for the behavioral health, transportation, oil and gas, judicial and consumer markets.

A preventative solution in historically reactive industries, SOBRsafe technology is being deployed for commercial fleets, workplaces, alcohol rehabilitation, probation management and teen drivers. This monitoring technology helps prevent intoxicated workers from taking the factory floor or drivers from receiving the keys to a truck, bus or family car. An offender is immediately flagged, and an administrator is empowered to take the appropriate corrective actions.

SOBRsafe technology is commercially available for access control (SOBRcheck), wearable use (SOBRsure(TM)) and licensing or white labeling.

The company is headquartered in the Denver (“CO”) Technology Center.

• Tokenized securities that tie digital coins to real world assets are gaining popularity as a safer outlet for investors experimenting with playing in the emerging blockchain-enabled marketplace
• Many leading investment asset managers are predicting tokenization will become the future of the marketplace and “the next generation” of securities investing
• Diamond Lake Minerals is helping investors who are interested in the emerging market but wary of the unknowns to bridge the divide and investigate digital securities through investment in more traditional assets that are imbued with SEC-registered security token offerings (“STOs”)
• STOs provide investors with the relative security of a government-regulated offering, and a growing number of governments worldwide are following suit

The potential of high returns on investment continues to create a draw for digital assets in the emerging blockchain-enabled marketplace, even though most investors aren’t experts on blockchain technology. Many find themselves continually challenged to evaluate the competing claims of tokenized companies and the benefits of the varied specialized purposes the tokens may serve.

World-leading asset manager BlackRock ($7 trillion under management) CEO Larry Fink made news about the staying power of digital assets in November when he said, “The next generation for markets, the next generation for securities, will be tokenization of securities,” at a New York Times DealBook event (https://ibn.fm/D3DGT).

Other serious financial market players also have stated tokens are “a much bigger story than cryptocurrencies” and are central to the future of finance, sparking a drive to update institutional strategies. Key to the blockchain marketplace is its emphasis on “transparency” in non-fiat transactions (despite the exception of the more controversial “privacy token” sector), and a recent Forbes opinion piece argued that transactions can be transparent without revealing all user data (https://ibn.fm/aeXaF).

Multi-strategy operating company Diamond Lake Minerals (OTC: DLMI) has experienced rapid growth during the past reporting semester as it has reinvented itself with an aim of becoming a leading player in this evolving security token space.

To avoid the pitfalls of some digital tokens that have become the target of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) enforcement actions in recent months, DLMI is “solely focused on a regulated environment,” Diamond Lake CEO Brian J. Esposito said during a Dec. 20 interview with financial media outlet Benzinga (https://ibn.fm/RXQ0E).

Its effort to bridge the divide between traditional, stock-and-bond-based wealth and digital asset finance has resulted in a model that involves building a vertically integrated ecosystem of industry-agnostic holdings with a broad market reach, and then creating a U.S. SEC-registered security token offering for each of them. 

Investors interested in music and other aspects of the entertainment industry, media, healthcare, real estate and numerous other sectors may find a prospect that appeals to them amid DLMI’s holdings, and can then use the STO in their investment as a seamless, uncomplicated means of sticking a toe into the tokenized security pool to test the waters.

Diamond Lake’s vertically integrated ecosystem will help them “share resources, support one another, and ensure that if there’s a downside in one industry or segment, that we have a diversified model to help keep everything afloat and everything growing,” Esposito said during a November interview (https://ibn.fm/rqOni).

Japan, the first country to impose an outright ban on privacy tokens that prioritize anonymity over transparency (https://ibn.fm/oDCVf), has inversely signaled its faith in the potential of tokenized securities as a means of allowing investors to move reserves from “near-zero interest bank deposits” to “riskier, higher return investments,” launching its first digital securities trading on Christmas Day (https://ibn.fm/CsA9e).

The country’s move is emblematic of the impetus digital assets are gaining in the marketplace.

“I love working in the regulated environment because it’s a place that helps ensure protecting people,” Esposito said.

• MTPP diversifies investment portfolio with projects spanning traditional property management, real estate development, and investments in PropTech
• Company recently secured lucrative lease for exclusive mixed-use property covering five acres in strategic Pennsylvania location
• MTPP builds, acquires, renovates, and remarkets waterfront/water-view properties in booming Hamptons amid skyrocketing demand and severe supply shortage
• Company currently raising $10 million in equity through a Reg A for Hamptons projects, secured debt capital commitments covering 70% of acquisition costs and 100% of construction expenses

Diversification is critical for generating stable, above-average returns in today’s turbulent property market. With that goal in mind, Mountain Top Properties (OTC: MTPP), a diversified real estate holding company, fuses traditional property management and real estate development with investments in property technology (“PropTech”) at exclusive locations in the Tri-State area and beyond.

The company recently secured a lease for a property strategically located near Harrisburg and Reading, PA, with convenient access to major corridors. This prime location includes a mixed-use building spanning approximately 250,000 square feet, two single-family homes over five acres, and 14,400 square feet of refinished office space. With a diverse mix of revenue streams, this latest acquisition complements MTPP’s property strategy to provide stable investment returns amid today’s volatile economic landscape.

MTPP additionally has partnered with On-Site Builder Construction Co. Inc. to develop projects in the Hamptons – an exclusive enclave of luxury properties located against a backdrop of high-end restaurants, upmarket boutiques, and first-in-class cultural attractions. Located a few hours from New York City, demand for homes in the area continues to rise despite prevailing economic trends – especially from celebrities, affluent individuals, and others looking for an escape from the city.

MTPP aims to meet that demand by acquiring, renovating, and remarketing waterfront or water-view properties in the area through its subsidiaries: Mountain Top Realty Inc. and Mountain Top Capital Fund I LLC. The company also partners with On Site Builder Construction Co. Inc., which has built some of the most prominent properties over the last 40 years.

“I’ve been building here long enough to have gone through a few downturns in the market here. The downturn in the market in the Hamptons is a stabilizing market, especially in the high-end,” said Joseph Kelley, manager of On-Site Builder Construction, during an interview on IBN’s Bell2Bell Podcast (https://ibn.fm/6aO6C). “We’ve seen during recessions or pressure on the market that the high-end always maintains its value, and even if it plateaus for a short period of time, we see another quantum leap in terms of its ultimate value.”

MTTP is raising $10 million in equity to acquire and build or renovate waterfront properties in the area, with secured debt capital commitments covering 70% of acquisition costs, 100% of construction expenses, and an additional $10 million to explore opportunities in the surrounding area. Management projects timelines of 15 to 18 months per property, with a target return on investment of 20% to 30% for each transaction.

“The old adage in real estate is ‘location, location, location’,” continued Mr. Kelley. “We have some of the most premier locations for building these high-end types of homes that probably exist in the country, if not the world.”

Mountain Top Properties is headquartered in Liverpool, New York with a satellite office in Sag Harbor, New York. The company focuses on traditional real estate development and property management in the Tri-State area, with supplementary PropTech investments that provide portfolio diversification and stable returns for investors.
