EMshield GmbH - Architecture and Corporate Security - This image illustrates the concept of eavesdropping protection and Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM).

Structural eavesdropping protection

The topic of structural eavesdropping protection is very complex. The concrete implementation of protective measures requires experience in the field of security and technical background knowledge, not only in the field of construction, but above all in the field of high-frequency technology.

While guidelines for eavesdropping protection have been in place in the public sector for many years, the issue is neglected in many companies, despite the known threat.
Professional projects are often handled by a team of specialists, e.g., a security consultant, the internal security department, an architectural firm, and a specialist provider of eavesdropping-proof rooms.

EMshield GmbH - Architecture and Corporate Security -Architectural room screening

Architectural room screening

One of the main areas of application for the ARCtec®-flex architectural room shielding system is currently in eaves-proof areas.

When electromagnetic room shielding can be easily installed, adapts to all room shapes, and does not restrict building physics, it is referred to as architectural or integrated room shielding.

The main component of architectural room shielding is the special shielding material, which, thanks to its low weight, eliminates the need for a complex support structure. It is breathable and can be finished with conventional floor and wall coverings. Installation is similar to that of normal wallpaper.

For user acceptance, it is extremely important that such a room does not differ from conventional rooms. When installed by specialists, shielding attenuation of up to 80 dB (factor 10,000) between 30 MHz and 6.0 GHz is guaranteed. To protect spoken words as well, acoustic insulation and a special film are installed on the windows to protect against laser microphones.

EMshield GmbH - Architecture and Corporate Security -Shielded cabins / modular shielding

Shielded cabins / modular shielding

Our ARCtec®-cube cabins made of sheet steel modules are used for the highest requirements in terms of safety and electromagnetic shielding attenuation. These can guarantee shielding attenuation values > 100 dB in the frequency range from 10 MHz to 10.0 GHz.

The architectural design options are significantly limited here. These cabins are implemented as a room-in-room system, and windows are only possible to a limited extent. The selection of doors, wall coverings, and floor coverings is limited. Airlock systems with automatic lifting thresholds for disabled access are available in this system. These systems are used in particular in high-security zones in the public sector.

In order to protect spoken words, acoustic insulation and a special film are also installed on the windows to protect against laser microphones.

EMshield GmbH - Architecture and Corporate Security -Secure Speech Rooms

Secure Speech Rooms

ARCtec® secure speech rooms are the ideal retreat for sensitive conversations, as these rooms effectively prevent eavesdropping using the most common listening devices. ARCtec® secure speech rooms achieve the highest acoustic insulation values. Optionally, the rooms can be equipped with electromagnetic shielding and laser protection without compromising user-friendliness.

ARCtec® secure speech rooms
are self-supporting, room-in-room solutions that can be freely installed in existing rooms and do not require any fixed connections to existing walls or ceilings. Walls with single or double glazing, in a metal or wood look—the system can be manufactured in any combination according to individual requirements. ARCtec® secure speech rooms create a place of maximum security in any room.
