Structural eavesdropping protection is a very complex area. The concrete implementation of protective measures requires experience in the security area and technical background knowledge of high-frequency technology as well as of construction.

While there have been guidelines for eavesdropping protection in the public administration sector for many years, many companies have not implemented them despite being aware of the current threat situation.

Our professional projects are often handled by a team of specialists, including a security consultant, the customer’s internal security department, an architect and a specialist provider of tap-proof rooms.

Architectural room shielding

Eavesdropping protection is currently one of the main application areas of our ARCtec-Flex architectural room shielding system.

If electromagnetic room shielding can be easily processed, adapts to all room shapes and does not restrict the building physics, this area is known as architectural or integrated room shielding.

The main component of architectural room shielding is the special shielding material, which is so light that it does not require a complex supporting structure. It is breathable and can be treated with conventional floor and wall coverings. The installation is similar to that of normal wallpapers.

It is extremely important for user acceptance that such a room does not look different to conventional rooms. Installed by specialists, a shielding attenuation of up to 80 dB (factor 10,000) between 30 MHz and 6.0 GHz is guaranteed. As protection against eavesdropping on spoken conversations, an acoustic insulation and a special foil is installed on the windows for protection against lip reading.

Shielded cabins / modular shielding

Shielded cabins made of copper or sheet steel modules are used to meet the highest safety and electromagnetic shielding requirements. This guarantees shielding attenuation values of > 100 dB.

The options for architectural design are clearly limited here. These cabins are implemented as a room within the room, which means that it is not possible to include windows. The choice of doors, wall and floor coverings is also limited. These systems are particularly widely used in high-security zones in the public administration sector.

Secure Speech Rooms

ARCtec® Secure-Speech Rooms are the ideal retreat for sensitive conversations, because they effectively prevent eavesdropping from the most common listening devices.

ARCtec® Secure-Speech Rooms achieve the highest soundproofing values. Optionally, the rooms can be equipped with electromagnetic shielding and laser protection without losing user-friendliness.

ARCtec® Secure-Speech Rooms are self-supporting room-in-room solutions that are easy to set up in existing rooms and do not require fixed connections to existing walls or ceilings.

We can tailor the system to your requirements, whether you require walls in metal, with a wood-like finish or in single- or double-glazed glass.The choice is yours! ARCtec® Secure-Speech Rooms enable you to install a high-security area in every room.
