Some may laugh at this topic, but many customers want to know how to use TitanRF™ faraday supplies to provide radio frequency shielding for their... restroom?! Read on to learn why.
In this day and age, most people carry a cell phone on them at all times... that includes while they're in the restroom. This means countless games, social media platforms to peruse, and personal messaging at their fingertips during "restroom breaks." It's no surprise that people often take advantage of their unsupervised restroom breaks at work, by enjoying a bit of entertainment on their phone. Although these extended restroom breaks may provide a quick stress relief for the employee, the boss may view this time as unproductive and against policy.
We've consulted with business owners who have expressed this complaint, and want to take matters into their own hands. The overall goal being to increase productivity and cut down on exceptionally long restroom breaks in whatever way possible.
If enforcing a no phone in the restroom policy doesn't seem to work, the next step is to ensure that devices cannot receive or transmit signals such as cell and Wi-Fi. One way to do this is by building a faraday cage around the room in question, whether it be a restroom, break room, private conference room, or other type of room.
The scan room of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine is designed as a Faraday cage. This prevents external RF (radio frequency) signals from being added to data collected from the patient, which would affect the resulting image.
Materials that do not conduct electricity like wood, drywall, plastics, and glass will impede a cellular signal, but not block it. Materials such as tin, copper, silver, aluminum and others can completely block the signal.
Concrete, brick, wood, and steel are all dense and will block some of your cell phone signal. However, you might find it strange that the most effective signal killer is fiberglass insulation.
A number of materials can be used to block RF signals, including copper, aluminum, and steel. For example, cables are typically shielded with a thin aluminum foil or braided copper wires. Individual devices can be placed inside simple shielded boxes, but this is too inefficient for real device testing at scale.
If you're making a Faraday cage for on-the-go, your best bet is to buy one. But you can make a small one. The tinfoil hat joke comes from somewhere, and that somewhere is the Faraday cage. Aluminum foil can be used to protect against electromagnetic fields.
The use of a phone jammer, GPS blocker, or other signal jamming device designed to intentionally block, jam, or interfere with authorized radio communications is a violation of federal law. There are no exemptions for use within a business, classroom, residence, or vehicle.
Yes, shielding any RF device with a “Faraday shield” like wrapping it with foil or putting it in a pocket lined with foil will block the radio frequency energy. So, the phone will cease to communicate with the world.
Yes, electromagnetic waves can travel through walls. This is why we have cell phones that work in buildings and walls don't provide a complete barrier for radio signals. Depending on the material the wall is made out of, some electromagnetic waves may be absorbed or partially blocked.
