RF-Blocking "Paint" Shows Promise for Protecting Wireless Devices - Posted 03/20/07
Tests performed around the perimeter of a “painted” sensitive compartmented information facility (SCIF) yielded successful results for the protection of wireless devices and other electronic equipment within the structure. The tests confirmed that wireless transmission of information can be protected from unauthorized access by the use of a new coating from EM-SEC Technologies, LLC.
Tests performed around the perimeter of a “painted” sensitive compartmented information facility (SCIF) yielded successful results for the protection of wireless devices and other electronic equipment within the structure. The tests confirmed that wireless transmission of information can be protected from unauthorized access by the use of a new coating from EM-SEC Technologies, LLC.
“The use of EM-SEC Coating as an electromagnetic barrier for the containment of wireless networks has opened a new realm of possibilities for our company and for the future of wireless communications” said Robert Boyd, vice president and director of technology for EM-SEC Technologies, LLC. “As hackers, identity thieves and even terrorists become more sophisticated in the methods they use to obtain information or inflict damage, this experiment confirmed EM-SEC Coating reduces the threat from electronic eavesdropping and blocks out electromagnetic interference for the protection of electronic data.”
The test was an exclusive operation to evaluate the effects of using the new coating system as a viable solution to enabling the safe and secure operation of wireless networks within the confines of an architectural enclosure. The coating system used for these tests is a series of water-based shielding products that restrict the passage of airborne radio frequency (RF) signals. The coating was initially developed to aid the government and military in shielding operation centers in order to safeguard mission critical information against threats to national and homeland security. These tests revealed that the coating can now be used successfully by corporations and private companies.
The tests demonstrated that intellectual property can no longer be stolen through the airwaves while inside an EM-SEC-coated facility. The results showed that a one-time application of the coating creates an “electromagnetic fortress” by preventing airborne hackers from intercepting signals.
