| Quiet Solution introduces QuietRF SCIF Quiet Solution announced the availability of the lowest-cost, high-performance soundproof/RF shielded drywall and wood panels for SCIF rooms as well as commercial applications. A Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility, SCIF, is a facility providing formal access controls and typically requires sound isolation as well as RF shielding throughout the room to prevent unauthorized information flow. Over 120,000 SCIF rooms have been targeted for conversion over the next several years at government offices, government subcontractors and embassies throughout the world. The QuietRF family of products includes special drywall, wood and sealants to meet the stringent requirements of RF shielded and acoustically isolated SCIF rooms as required by DCI. Since the construction methods are more standardized than older techniques, standard subcontractors can be used throughout construction, cutting labor costs by 4X or more. With STC values of up to 74 and RF shielding tested from 0Hz to 10Ghz with 60dB to 80dB of attenuation, QuietRF provides the first one-stop solution for complete SCIF room and RF shielded buildouts. In addition, QuietRF products may be used in commercial settings such as hospitals or theaters where RF shielding may be desired, but had been too expensive or impossible until now. QuietRF delivers features important to professional builders, architects: - Simple installation for walls, floors, and ceilings; - Use of standard subcontractors rather than specialists; - Installs and finishes like ordinary drywall; - Provides high acoustic and RF isolation throughout the room; - One hour fire-rated, Type X equivalent. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
