PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE (GPO) AWARD

New York, NY and Ra’anana, Israel, January 18, 2005 - SuperCom, Ltd. (OTCBB: SPCBF.OB; Euronext: SUP), a leading provider of smart card and electronic identification (e-ID) solutions, today announced that the US Government Printing Office (GPO) has added four vendors, whose proposals were the next higher ranked in the Solicitation for Offers (SFO) EP-2004 for the Electronic Passport, to the list of companies whose computer chips will be tested for usage in the GPO’s massive electronic passport project. The total list now includes 8 companies, including both SuperCom and SuperCom’s partner BearingPoint, who has proposed a SuperCom-based solution.

According to the information given to the Company, the GPO’s electronic passport project is a three-phase process involving the GPO, the Department of State’s Bureau of Consular Affairs and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). During the next phases, the GPO will manufacture test passports using chip solutions provided by all finalist companies. The NIST will then test the electronic passports for their ability to meet durability, security, and electronic requirements. Final selection of one or more vendors will take place after testing is completed.

SuperCom has not received any indication at this point whether the Company will be selected for additional stages. Supercom continues to work with the GPO on the testing phase. The Company estimates that the award of the tender will significantly influence the Company’s business in the coming years. SuperCom will announce the estimated influence at a later date, according to the progress of various stages of the project. According to GPO, the first electronic passports are expected to be issued during the second quarter of 2005 with full deployment in early 2006.
