Caroline colors: painted and forgot ... about Wi-Fi and cellular

Company EM-SEC Technologies of North Carolina issued a press release in which he stated about the successful test material developed its technology division. EM-SEC 2060, as the creators called the product, is a special paint that, when applied to the walls of a room or building, shields it from the electromagnetic radiation of wireless communication networks: cellular or, for example, Wi-Fi.

The key component of the EM-SEC 2060 coating, which in appearance and properties differs little from a conventional water emulsion, is a complex polymer, the formula and manufacturing technology of which, for obvious reasons, is a trade secret.

Coverage is intended primarily to ensure the information security of critical departments ( SCIF) private companies and government (including military) structures. Industrial espionage methods, not to mention “real” espionage, have long been able to intercept information even from cable networks, and even the theft of data from Wi-Fi channels has completely become a kind of urban legend, a horror story for IT-people. And if it is quite enough to use regular encryption for the home network, then research laboratories, server rooms and rooms for business negotiations will not be out of place to protect physically from leaks.

EM-SEC development has been tested in several highly respected organizations: Sandia Labs, the Naval Surface Warfare Center, and even the National Security Agency (NSA), which keeps the US calm on the electronic front. As a result, the coating has been approved as an effective SCIF protector. It is possible that now EM-SEC will receive orders from government agencies in America, with which scandals have increasingly been associated recently due to the loss of valuable personal and official information.

Civil applications are also possible: by painting the walls of lecture halls or movie theaters with such paint, you can permanently get rid of phones ringing out of time.

In addition to paint, the company produces fiber, from which it makes bags and cases.for electronic devices such as PDAs and laptops. These accessories are designed to protect computers from penetration on the road.
