Ultra Armor announced the launch last week of its Faraday pouches and bags that can protect both small electronic accessories such as phones and key fobs, as well as larger equipment from cyber attacks utilizing RF transmissions up to 90 GHz. By utilizing its shielding material, Ultra Armor has created pouches and bags that are designed to offer effectiveness in blocking all incoming and outgoing wireless radio signals up to 90 GHz.
The company claims the pouches protect electronic accessories from wireless data hacking and tracking as well as natural or deliberate Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) signals. Currently, Ultra Armor provides their products to government agencies, branches of the military, and the general public.
Ultra Armor CEO and co-founder, Kylen Ribeiro, says the introduction of 5G and 6G networks and the Internet of Things are making devices more interconnected, which increases the opportunity for cyber crime. And that’s not the only issue. For those looking to block all RF transmissions, Ribeiro says Faraday bags being sold today can’t actually block past 10 to 20 GHz.
“As the deployment of the 5G network approached, it became evident that the frequencies involved would far surpass those used in earlier cellular networks and WiFi, and nothing on the market was able to block these signals,” says Ribeiro. “We were determined to create a solution that could effectively mitigate signals spanning from 300 Hz to 90 GHz and even surpass these limits. Our Ultra Armor Faraday product line has undergone rigorous military lab testing to ensure its shielding capabilities and effectiveness against EMP attacks. Critical devices are shielded with impenetrable protection while closed inside an Ultra Armor Faraday bag or case.”
According to Ribeiro, Faraday pouches are the last line of defense against RF and EMP attacks. Ultra Armor products are designed so that no signal can get in or out. Their fabric shielding is covered with water-resistant military-grade ballistic nylon that comes in a variety of small pouches and larger bags, as well as RF-shielding wallpaper to meet any need.
