THE DIFFERENCE
Not all pouches are equal.
A standard lockable pouch keeps the phone out of a student's hands. A signal-blocking pouch takes it a step further. The phone is locked away and completely disconnected.
STANDARD LOCKABLE POUCH
Phone is locked and inaccessible
Phone still connects to Wi-Fi and mobile data
Hotspotting still possible inside the pouch
Notifications still arrive and queue up
Bluetooth connections remain active
SIGNAL - BLOCKING POUCH
Phone is locked and inaccessible
All wireless signals blocked by Faraday shielding
Hotspotting completely eliminated
No notifications, no data, no connection
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, and cellular all blocked
How it works
Passive shielding. No signal in, no signal out.
Our signal-blocking pouches use Faraday shielding, a conductive lining that blocks all wireless signals from reaching or leaving the phone. It's the same technology used by law enforcement and intelligence agencies for evidence preservation.
1
Student places their phone in the pouch and locks it using the magnetic pin mechanism. Takes seconds.
2
The Faraday lining blocks all wireless signals. No cellular, no Wi-Fi, no Bluetooth, no GPS. The phone is completely disconnected.
3
At the designated time, the pouch is unlocked at a magnetic unlocking station. The phone reconnects automatically.
Legal & safe
This is not a jammer. It's a pouch.
Signal jammers are illegal in Australia and most countries because they actively transmit radio frequencies that disrupt communications across an area. A Faraday pouch is the opposite.
Passive, not active
The pouch doesn't transmit anything. It simply wraps the device in conductive material that prevents signals from passing through. It only affects the phone inside it.
Completely legal
Faraday products are freely available and widely used across Australia by law enforcement, military, and intelligence professionals. No licence, no regulation, no grey area.
Who it's for
Two starting points. One outcome.
Already running a pouch program?
If your school is using standard lockable pouches and hotspotting has become an issue, signal-blocking pouches close that gap without changing your existing processes or infrastructure. Same routine, stronger result.
Starting fresh?
If you're introducing phone pouches for the first time, signal-blocking gives you the strongest possible starting position. No half measures, no workarounds to manage later. Get it right from day one.
Common questions
What schools ask us.
Does it block emergency calls?
While the phone is in the pouch, it cannot make or receive calls. In an emergency, the pouch can be unlocked at any unlocking station in seconds, or the student can go to the school office. Schools set their own emergency protocols.
What about students with medical devices that rely on phone connectivity?
We offer a non-locking velcro pouch for students with medical needs, such as glucose monitoring. The student can access their phone when needed while still participating in the program.
Is signal blocking legal in Australia?
Yes. Faraday pouches are passive shielding devices. They do not transmit or jam any signals. They are completely legal and widely used by law enforcement and government agencies across Australia.
Does the signal-blocking pouch also lock?
Yes. It's a lockable pouch with Faraday shielding built in. The phone is locked and disconnected. It can only be unlocked using a magnetic unlocking station controlled by the school.
What signals does it block?
All of them. Cellular (3G, 4G, 5G), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and NFC. The phone is completely dark while it's inside the pouch.
Can we trial it before committing?
Absolutely. Most schools start with a sample pack to test the lock, the signal-blocking, and the build quality before placing a larger order. No contracts, no commitments.
See it for yourself.
Most schools start with a sample pack. Two pouches and an unlocking magnet. Enough to test the lock, the signal-blocking, and decide.
