Tempest EMI Power Line Filters

Defense TEMPEST EMI Power Line Filters

When high security networking is an absolute must, only top-notch, defense-grade, TEMPEST EMI Power Line filters will do the trick. We here at Curtis industries manufacture military components and tempest powerline filters for defense, because we understand the importance of data security. We provide a variety of different defense filters including:

  • Data control line filters
  • High-pass, lowpass, and bandpass filters
  • “Light” tempest line filters
  • High-performance Tempest filters

In addition, we also inventory a large selection of other available electrical components as well. We specialize in RFI filters, custom molded components, PC board blocks, and more!

How a TEMPEST Power Line Filter Works

TEMPEST is an acronym for Transient Electro Magnetic Pulse Emanation Standard. A TEMPEST filter eliminates conducted EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) information. Most electronic equipment inadvertently emits EMI emanations, which could be constructed into useable data if picked up by a skilled electronics expert. Some commonly compromised sources of information include telephone signals, personal computer data, server information, and countless other sources. Simply put, data is constantly being leaked through power lines and almost any other outlet that transmits electronic information. A tempest filter protects your sensitive data (commonly referred to by tech junkies as “red” data) by filtering information across a much wider range of available frequencies than other standard filters.

Military Grade TEMPEST Filters and Other Electronic Components

Our military and other branches of defense use EMI to protect some of our nation’s most sensitive data. Everything from personal medical information, to top-secret military operations, and even private diplomatic correspondence are all protected by using some form of an advanced TEMPEST filter. However, we also provide our highly sophisticated tempest filters to the public sector as well. Our filters are perfect for guarding your precious client information, personal banking data, and other sensitive materials.
