What is a Faraday Bag?
A Faraday bag is a signal-blocking enclosure that disconnects your device from the digital world by killing wireless signals to and from it.
Crafted with conductive Faraday fabric to block electromagnetic fields and shield electronic devices from external signals like WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, and cellular networks. By placing a device inside, you can prevent data transmissions, protect against hacking attempts, and ensure security and privacy for sensitive information. These bags are widely used by security professionals, law enforcement, and anyone concerned about digital privacy.
Why not just turn my phone off?
Smartphones are never truly "off" since the power source can't be removed, meaning they might still be active even when they appear powered down. We consider this more of a "dormant" state, where they can potentially collect data or track your location.
Do Faraday Bags provide EMF Protection?
Absolutely, Faraday bags are effective at blocking electromagnetic radiation (EMR), including EMF radiation which has been shown to be harmful to humans.
Will I see my missed calls and TXT when using a Faraday Bag?
Of course! Once you take your device out of the Faraday bag and it reconnects to the service, it will promptly receive all missed data, including texts, emails, voicemails, notifications, and alerts.
Will my alarm still go off with my phone inside?
Yes. Your phone’s alarm will remain active, and you can still set reminders using the internal clock functions that don't depend on cellular or wireless service.
Does SCRT™ Clothing Block 5G?
Yes, our SCRT T-shirt effectively blocks a wide range of frequencies (10 MHz to 6 GHz and beyond), including the 700 MHz band used by current 5G deployments.
However, there are some important points to consider:
- Future 5G may utilize much higher frequencies (20,000-30,000 GHz) that current shielding fabrics haven't been extensively tested against.
- Most shielding fabrics, including ours, are primarily tested for frequencies up to 6 GHz (covering WiFi and common cellular bands).
Is the SCRT™ Clothing Effective?
Absolutely.
The apparel's effectiveness lies in its innovative use of shielding silver fabric. This fabric offers premium shielding efficacy, ranging from 35dB to 80dB across frequencies from 10 MHz to 6 GHz and beyond. In practical terms, this means that only a mere 0.1% of high-frequency radiation can breach the shielding silver fabric—a remarkable feat validated by rigorous certification and testing processes.
Moreover, the inclusion of silver in the fabric brings additional advantages. Silver possesses inherent antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiodor, and antistatic properties, enhancing the overall functionality of the apparel.
While it's important to note that our apparel may not provide comprehensive coverage for the entire body against signals, it does offer targeted shielding for critical areas.
Why Is My Cell Phone Ringing Inside the Hat?
The signal strength around you may be stronger than what the hat can completely block out.
Signal-blocking hats operate on the principles of physics rather than magic. The special shielding fabric can only block a specific spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. Typically, the shielding effect is up to approximately 80 decibels (dB). If the signal strength around you exceeds this value, which is quite common, your cell phone covered by the hat may still ring. However, the received signal is greatly reduced, almost to null. Nevertheless, having a signal-blocking cap to protect your brain is still highly valuable greatly reducing the amount of EMF from constantly hitting it.
Can I Measure the EMF Blocking Effect Using My Cell Phone?
Not really
Reliance on the dots or ticks displayed on your cell phone's signal indicator isn't advisable as different phone models react uniquely to signal changes. Moreover, it takes time for a phone to register a signal loss. Assessing the phone's reaction within the apparel is also challenging, and removing it for a signal check won't yield accurate results. This situation is akin to testing a waterproof bag underwater—it's impossible to verify dryness while submerged. Additionally, signal strength fluctuates based on proximity to the emitter or antenna, potentially leading to inconsistent signal indicators. While the apparel doesn't fully eliminate signals, it significantly reduces their impact. For reliable testing, it's best to use certified measuring instruments or consult EMF professionals.
