Tempest Shielding, Rack, Enclosures & Security Systems

CP Cases TEMPEST shielding is the ideal solution for ensuring optimum security for critical systems involved in intelligence and security activity. We can work with your system design engineers to provide a bespoke, optimally effective 19 inch TEMPEST rack or electronic enclosure with the correct level of shielding for your needs.

What is TEMPEST Shielding?

TEMPEST is an acronym for Transient Electromagnetic Pulse Surveillance Technology, which refers to the equipment and devices that emit or receive and decipher data from electromagnetic resonance.

TEMPEST shielding is the process of protecting sensitive equipment from emanating electromagnetic radiation (EMR) that may carry classified information. This is to prevent it from being intercepted by outside entities, known as ‘compromising emanations’.

Ther term TEMPEST shielding may also refer to the shielding itself, which is fitted to electronic equipment to inhibit the transmission of EMR. This process follows the red/black separation principle, whereby the ‘red’ equipment, which may be, for example,  a computer terminal carrying confidential data, must be isolated from the ‘black’ equipment, for example radios and modems, which may capture signals through various filters.

TEMPEST Security Systems

TEMPEST security systems are also often placed in secure rooms or even whole buildings to ensure that no EMR leaks out, which could compromise security by inadvertently leaking data.

CP Cases TEMPEST Shielding provides RF (radio frequency) shielding to block electromagnetic radiation from critical equipment. Where national security information is at risk there is no room for compromise. Exceptional attention to design, premium materials and components and consistency of manufacture processes are all part of the formula, designed to ensure that the final system meets US and NATO TEMPEST requirements.

Whether you require a secure 19-inch rack or TEMPEST enclosure to protect any vital information, or EMC/EMI Shielding to prevent electro-magnetic coupling with other equipment, we can provide the exact solution you need.
