Understanding and Protecting against "New" Threats to Electronic Assets
using SD Technology
Technology is advancing and being deployed at an ever increasing rate. Have you
noticed the number of people using cell phones, PDAs, and working via Wireless LANs
(WLAN)?
The number of cell towers, WiFi network access points, and radio/TV
transmission antennas to support all the users and the variety of TV/radio channels has
increased exponentially to keep pace with this explosive growth. All of this technology
is basically filling our environment with Radio Frequency or Electromagnetic energy at
different frequencies across the bandwidth spectrum.
This has the effect of
disrupting, inhibiting, and in some cases shutting down basic and everyday electronic
operations. This effect is called Electromagnetic Interference or EMI. Note the EMI can
also occur naturally, i.e., sun storms have been historically documented for shutting down
electronic communications and business functions.
