TEMPEST Rooms and components

An increasingly electromagnetic environment caused by solar storms or weaponised (H)EMP could threaten your operations, leading to damaged electronics, data breaches, or espionage.

Unlike a standard RF-shielded room, a TEMPEST room combines high-performance electromagnetic shielding with specialised power-line filters, signal and communication filters, shielded ventilation panels, secure cable penetrations, and strict construction standards to ensure that data processed inside cannot be reconstructed or eavesdropped on from outside the facility.

TEMPEST rooms are often used by military, government, intelligence, financial, and critical infrastructure organisations to protect classified or confidential information from electronic surveillance and signals intelligence (SIGINT) threats.

We offer several solutions for the highest level of protection.

Happy clients

Test execution very close to real-life

“Comtest is extremely flexible, forward-thinking and fast.
We are satisfied with our EMC chamber, which is set up to
provide us with load possibilities far beyond anything possible
with third-party testing solutions. This makes our test execution
very close to real-life usage of our products.”

Essential to ensure reliable testing

“NXP is located on the High-Tech campus in Eindhoven.
Here the electromagnetic spectrum is quite crowded.
Shielded rooms are essential to ensure reliable testing.
Our 3 Comtest RF-shielded facilities have never sat empty,
which speaks volumes regarding their value to us.”

Reputation for quality

“For the expansion of our testing capabilities we worked
with Comtest for the construction of a new,
oversized testing chamber. We chose to work with Comtest
based on their reputation for quality and the fact
that they’re a Dutch company.”

Works very fast and thoroughly

“At Emitech, there are over 40 different types of testing
chambers to fit any testing. Comtest has built many of them
and works very fast and thoroughly. They completed our 
latest
3M SAC setup within one week
We look forward to working
with Comtest on future projects.”

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.
