Interference shielding, once limited in importance to large IT and telecoms companies and security authorites, and in limited capacity, is now absolutely necessary for many other sectors and has grown to be a fundamental part of various companies’ everyday operations and even mundane life.
The impact of an EMP on electronic devices is severe and multifaceted. From disabling microelectronics in personal devices to causing widespread power outages and disrupting critical infrastructure, the effects can be catastrophic.
Radio frequency (RF) weapons and electromagnetic warfare tactics are becoming as integral a part of conflicts as any other, more traditional aspect of warfare. It is crucial, for both military and critical civilian actors to understand the landscape surrounding these developments and the need for robust defences against their disruptive potential.
A Faraday cage is a metallic enclosure that can block external electromagnetic fields by creating a conductive surface that is able to reflect or absorb the electromagnetic waves.
As technology continues to advance at an unprecedented pace, the need for reliable RF, EMC, and EMP shielding will only intensify. With the advent of 5G networks, the proliferation of IoT devices, and the ever-present threat of electromagnetic interference, the need for robust shielding solutions will only continue to grow.
The impact of an EMP can vary depending on its source, altitude, and the strength of the electromagnetic burst. The effects can range from minor disruptions to complete system failures, and the severity of damage depends on the vulnerability of the affected electronics and electrical infrastructure.

Shielding: Enclosures and shielding materials can be used to reduce the leakage of electromagnetic radiation. For example, Faraday cages can block RF signals effectively.
Take a look at our offering of various shielding solutions, tailored to your specific needs.
For practical solutions on protecting your sensitive electronics and data, see our various customisable shielding solutions. We ensure that no matter what your requirements are, you receive the best solution for your specific situation.
While acquiring a standard cabinet and retrofitting it after may be an option, designing and building a customised cabinet from scratch offers better control over product design, quality and cost-effectiveness, making it a superior choice in many applications.

An RF chamber is used to isolate the device under test from external interference and to provide a controlled testing environment. The chamber is designed to reduce external noise and interference, such as electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).
Ocotec Oy specializes in shielding customer’s systems and devices against challenging conditions.
Working in information, automation and mechanical engineering and defence industry.
In addition to customised shielding solutions, the company also subcontracts sheet metal products and components.
