5-day intensive TEMPEST & EMC Training

Participants engaged in TEMPEST and EMC training at Comtest facility.

To better understand and help our clients, two of our Technical Consultants attended a 5-day intensive TEMPEST and EMC course organised by the University of Twente and FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences. The course is initiated by Professor Frank Leferink with the help of Michael Hilgärtner and Daria Nemashkalo.

Our consultant Vincent van de Vrie explains why he invests in this level of knowledge. Vincent: “For me, it’s important to be an equal conversation partner with our clients. Of course, we all have a general understanding of basic TEMPEST and EMC concepts, but a deeper dive into the extensive range of standards, such as those from NATO and SDIP, helps me to tailor our chamber proposals for both current and new clients. I suppose it’s a kind of curiosity that’s quite common at Comtest. Besides, it’s very inspiring to spend afternoons with all kinds of specialists from the Netherlands and Germany working on practical tests.”

The course is recognised by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) and the Netherlands National Communications Security Agency (NLNCSA). Supported by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy.

TEMPEST Rooms and Components added to portfolio

With 6 new TEMPEST rooms and various components, our online portfolio is more comprehensive than ever, offering worry-free solutions for the highest level of protection. For example, our TEMPEST-shielded Main Equipment Room meets NATO SDIP-27 requirements and incorporates HEMP protection measures in accordance with MIL-STD-188-125-1. This provides a secure environment for processing sensitive information by reducing the risk of compromising emanations, electromagnetic eavesdropping, and electromagnetic pulse (EMP) effects.

Comtest delivers EMC testing expansion for TREO

Doubling a lab’s measuring capacity in a very short timeframe: another example of the demand for EMC testing chambers in Europe. In this case, we helped our friends at Treo – Labor für Umweltsimulation GmbH, an independent service provider for product and component testing in the Hamburg area in Germany.

Our services include maintenance and validated testing. We recommend that both are executed by authorized personnel only. Our expert teams can perform preventive maintenance on RF-shielded doors, mode-stirrer systems, and positioning equipment such as turntables. We also offer validation services to see if your EMC test chamber or RF-shielded room still functions within its intended limits and avoiding unexpected down-time or product recalls at the same time.

A shielded room can perform conducted emission and immunity EMC measurements, eliminating harmful external influences, leading to more accurate and consistent test results. Being a Faraday cage, a shielded room will not only improve test results but will also form an excellent aid in protecting information and essential hardware. Comtest can assist governments, the military, financial institutions, and large corporations in protecting what matters most in critical situations. We offer the highest quality, sensitivity, and security before, during and after working with you.
