HOW WE THINK ABOUT SHIELDING

For decades, the building has had to serve the shield.

The status quo

For as long as shielded rooms have existed, the facility has had to accommodate the shield. Conventional shielding is welded into place, fixed at design stage and permanent from the day it is finished. The building is planned around it. Construction stops for it. And when racks change, power density rises or the site outgrows itself, the room cannot follow. Protection ends up being the least flexible part of the fastest-moving infrastructure there is.

What we believe

We believe it should be the other way around: the room adapts to the facility, not the facility to the room. So we build ours from prefabricated steel modules that pass through a standard building door, assemble from the inside, sit close to existing walls and bolt together—no welding, no glue, nothing irreversible. The room can be extended, reconfigured or relocated entirely, then measured again. Full protection, none of the permanence.

THE SHORT ANSWER

One boundary — designed, built and measured under a single responsibility.

Shielding structure, doors, filters, ventilation waveguides and every penetration are engineered as one continuous boundary, assembled weld-free alongside live operations, then measured on site to EN 50147-1 / IEEE 299 and handed over as documented evidence. What you keep at the end is a measurement, not an assurance.

APPLICATIONS THAT REQUIRE PERFORMANCE

AI data center security no longer ends at the software layer.

Firewalls, encryption and zero trust stop what arrives over the network. As the value held inside an AI data center grows, the paths that never touch the network—through physical space and through electromagnetic coupling—have become a real part of the assessment. Software security and physical security now have to be designed together.

HOW THE EXPOSURE ARRIVES

Four routes to the same asset—none of them across a firewall.

Each one reaches processing hardware through physical space or through electromagnetic coupling. Each one is closed at the facility boundary.

01

Compromising emanations

Processing activity radiates. In 2026 a neural network's architecture was reconstructed from GPU emissions 6 m away through a wall, and model parameters were read directly from NVIDIA Tensor Cores. Neither attack touched the network.

Potential impactConfidentiality exposed
02

Intentional interference

Localized high-power RF or electromagnetic energy can disrupt electronics, controls and communications.

Potential impactService interruption
03

EMP / HEMP exposure

Radiated and conducted pulse effects can challenge critical systems and continuity architectures. The E1 pulse rises in 2.5 ns—before surge protection rated for lightning has reacted.

Potential impactMission continuity risk
04

Boundary vulnerabilities

Doors, ventilation, power, data, cooling and utility penetrations can become the weakest path through the shield.

Potential impactProtection degraded

HOW CYBERSHIELD IS USED

Three situations we see again and again.

Government & sovereign cloud

A classified zone inside a live facility.

Challenge

A government cloud program required a secure processing zone for classified workloads inside an existing data center.

Approach

The shielded vault was engineered around live operations, installed without welding and verified on site.

Outcome

A high-security zone delivered and acceptance-tested without interrupting the surrounding facility.

AI labs & hyperscale operations

A measurable boundary around the assets.

Challenge

An AI firm sought to safeguard its proprietary model weights and training clusters from side-channel emanations and external interference.

Approach

A dedicated shielded room, integrated cooling, power and monitoring for high-density racks.

Outcome

A measured, documented security boundary around the company's most valuable IP.

Colocation providers, defense, finance & communications

Premium security without rebuilding.

Challenge

A colocation operator wanted a premium tier for regulated customers without rebuilding the site.

Approach

A modular vault was added inside existing white space and packaged as a verified product.

Outcome

A high-margin revenue stream driven by an exclusive, hard-to-replicate security tier.

SHIELDED ENVIRONMENT

Modular and prefabricated PAN type shielding.

Frankonia shielded rooms and special security chambers are designed on a modular construction system. Prefabricated high-quality shielding panels guarantee maximum flexibility in the possible dimensions.

All PAN type modules allow easy handling and entry through standard building doors. The standard modules are bolted from the inside every 75 mm, with a high-conductivity mesh gasket sealing the joints, which allows installation close to the walls of the parent building. The short screwing distance and the precise tightening of the screws with predefined torque guarantee long-life shielding attenuation.

SHIELDING COMPONENTS & ACCESSORIES

Six product lines. One zero-leak boundary.

Since 1987, Frankonia has followed a prefabrication and modular standard at the highest quality and efficiency. Nothing is welded, nothing is glued, and every component is engineered as part of the same shielding envelope — so performance is not lost at the joints, the doors or the penetrations.

ADVANTAGES & BENEFITS

The shielding is not new. The application is.

The Frankonia Group was founded in 1987 as a solution provider for EMC and antenna test laboratories, and is today a specialized technology corporation for anechoic chambers and test systems in the automotive, military and industrial sectors. CyberShield applies that same shielding engineering to data infrastructure. In-house project management, engineering and production — with Frankonia's own installation and service teams — mean the boundary, the doors, the filters and the acceptance measurement all come from one source.

COMMON QUESTIONS

The questions every project starts with.

Can CyberShield be installed in an existing, operating facility?

Yes. Modules pass through standard doors and are bolted together from the inside—no welding or hot work—so installation alongside live operations is a common project profile.

How long does a project take?

It depends on size and integration scope. As a rough guide, room assembly itself takes weeks, and the full cycle from assessment to verified handover typically runs several months. A concrete schedule is part of the concept proposal.

What determines the cost?

Size, performance requirements, the number of penetrations (doors, power, data, cooling) and integration complexity. Basic project parameters are enough for a first consultation and estimate.

Does the shield interfere with cooling, fire safety or daily operations?

No. Airflow, raised floors, fire suppression, lighting and access control are engineered into the boundary from the start.

What if we need to expand or relocate later?

The system is dismountable without damage. Rooms can be extended, reconfigured or reassembled at a new site—protecting the original investment.
