Garments, Pouches, Shielding,-Conductive Textiles!
Garments, Pouches, and Shielding-Conductive Textiles! The uses of conductive fabrics are many and varied. Originally, the primary use of conductive metalized textiles was RF Shielding, allowing electronic devices to work together smoothly a shared electromagnetic environment. All electronic devices emit electromagnetic radiation. Depending on the frequency of the EMI/RFI, electronic devices can work together smoothly. RF Shielding uses conductive textiles to block the offending frequencies that disturb normal function of a device. Engineers love the flexibility of...

Conductive Textiles are used Everywhere!
Conductive Textiles are used Everywhere! The medical field has many uses for conductive textiles. Conductive metalized textiles act as sensors, measuring vital functions such as brain waves, and temperature. Hospital beds become smart, sensing a patient leaving the bed. Pressure sensing buttons summon nurses to the patient's room when necessary. These even detect wetness of the bedding! Metalized textiles are useful in physical therapy as electrodes applying current to stimulate muscles or nerves as...

Military uses for Conductive Textiles!
Military uses for Conductive Textiles! The Department of Defense has many uses for Conductive Textiles. Obviously, the military has many sophisticated electronic devices in their vehicles, whether planes, tanks, or boats. The lives of the soldiers depend on these devices working smoothly without any interference from RFI or EMI. Proper RF Shielding allows these devices to work together efficiently in a shared electromagnetic environment. Conductive textiles are the best shielding materials for vehicles due to their light...

RF Shielded Curtain or Enclosure?
This may seem like a difficult question, in some cases the correct answer is BOTH! One of the beautiful things about an RF Shielded Curtain is that it can multitask! An RF Shielded curtain can isolate an area from RF radiation. This comes in handy in repairing or testing an electronic device's performance "in situ" when the "Device Under Testing" (DUT) won't fit into a RF Shielded Enclosure or can't get to one. An RF Shielded Curtain is...

Digital Evidence must be Secure and Preserved in order to be Admissible!
Digital Evidence must be Secure! The wireless digital world has created a whole new landscape for criminals. Inadvertently, criminals accidentally keep detailed records of their criminal activity in their electronic devices. GPS keeps an accurate track of where the device or phone has been. Oddly, Criminals feel that if their data is safe in these devices and that no one can get at it. We are all aware that people can wirelessly access to sensitive information. That's how hackers make...
