FWR Faraday bag Medium - LAB edition Gen. 3

FWR Faraday Bag Lab Generation 3 is a specialized shielding pouch for the secure storage, transport, and laboratory work with tablets, mobile phones, and other wireless devices. Thanks to its transparent window, it allows the display of the stored device to be monitored without the need to open the bag, and therefore without interrupting the shielding. The shielding layer under the transparent viewing window also helps limit device communication with 5G networks, mobile networks, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, RFID, and NFC.

The pouch is designed especially for the needs of police, forensic experts, court-appointed experts, and laboratory workplaces where it is necessary to monitor the status of a device, check the display, or verify the progress of work without opening the bag. At the same time, it may also be suitable for companies and security teams that need to monitor a device while maintaining shielding.

Main benefits:

• shielding of 5G, mobile signal, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, RFID, and NFC,
• measured attenuation of up to 60 dB,
• transparent window for visual inspection of the device display,
• option to monitor the device status without opening the bag,
• Velcro closure with multiple folding,
• made from high-quality and durable material,
• lightweight, durable construction for use in the laboratory and in the field,
• suitable for forensic securing, laboratory testing, and device inspection without opening the bag,
• internal dimensions 21 × 29 cm, suitable even for the largest current phones.

Velcro closure with multiple folding

Generation 3 uses a Velcro closure with multiple folding. This method of closure helps reduce the risk of the bag being closed incorrectly and thus the risk of insufficient shielding. Multiple folding also increases the reliability of the closure during normal use in the field, laboratory, and during device transport.

What fits inside the bag

The internal dimensions of 21 × 29 cm comfortably accommodate most standard tablets, large mobile phones, e-book readers, GPS devices, and other wireless electronics.

FWR Faraday Bag Lab Generation 3 Medium is suitable for:

• securing tablets during digital forensic analysis with the option of visual display inspection,
• monitoring the device status without opening the bag,
• checking the progress of laboratory testing or data extraction,
• safe transport of electronic evidence,
• reducing the risk of device tracking,
• business meetings and security-sensitive meetings,
• protection of company and personal data,
• storing a tablet in situations where you do not want it to communicate in any way.

Technical parameters:

• internal dimensions: 21 × 29 cm,
• closure type: Velcro closure with multiple folding,
• construction: 1-layer shielding structure with a transparent window,
• maximum measured attenuation: up to 60 dB,
• verified shielding: 5G, mobile networks, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, RFID, NFC,
• testing: according to ASTM D-4935-2010, IEEE Standard 299-2006, and MIL-Standard 285.

For maximum effectiveness, we recommend placing the entire device inside the bag, closing it carefully, and verifying before use that the pouch is properly closed. The measured attenuation values according to ASTM D-4935-2010, IEEE-Standard 299-2006, and MIL-Standard 285 can be found here.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a Faraday bag used for?

A Faraday bag is used to shield wireless devices from external signals. It is used in digital forensic analysis, safe device transport, or privacy protection.

Is the Faraday bag also suitable for regular users?

Yes. Although it is designed for professional use, it is also suitable for companies, managers, and users who want to reduce the risk of tracking, eavesdropping, or remote device communication.

Does FWR Faraday Bag Lab Generation 3 block 5G signal?

Yes, Generation 3 is verified for shielding 5G signal and at the same time limits communication via mobile networks, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, RFID, and NFC.

Can the device be controlled by touch through the transparent window?

No. The transparent window is only used for visual inspection of the device display. The device cannot be controlled through the window without opening the bag.

Will a tablet fit inside the bag?

Yes, the internal dimensions of 21 × 29 cm are suitable for most standard tablets, large smartphones, and other wireless devices. Before purchase, we recommend comparing the dimensions of your device with the internal dimensions of the pouch, especially if you use a robust protective case or keyboard.

Can a device inside the bag be accessed remotely or located?

No — that is exactly the purpose of the pouch. Inside, the device loses access to surrounding wireless networks, so its location cannot be determined and it cannot be accessed remotely.

Does a device discharge faster inside the bag?

A switched-on device with active wireless communication may consume more energy without signal because it is trying to search for an available signal again. For long-term storage, we recommend airplane mode or switching it off.

How do I know the bag works?

Place the device inside, close the pouch, wait at least one minute, and check whether it has lost access to the mobile network, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or location services. With a phone, you can also try calling it — the call should fail and the device should be unavailable.
