RF Shielding for Data Centers
RF shielding for data centers has to be precise, documented, and test-ready from day one. We design and coordinate RF/EMI shielding for critical environments—so MMRs, NOCs, secure network rooms, and high-density compute spaces stay protected from interference and signal leakage. The result: cleaner performance, fewer surprises during commissioning, and a facility that stays on schedule, on budget, and ready for validation.

Experts in Data Center Shielding
Proven data center RF shielding support—from first layout and attenuation targets to final testing and closeout. Fast turnarounds, clean trade coordination, predictable outcomes.
One team, from concept to closeout
Don’t gamble with uptime, performance, or commissioning by settling for “good enough” shielding. We deliver end-to-end RF/EMI shielding design and implementation support for data centers—so MMRs, NOCs, secure network rooms, and high-density compute areas stay protected from interference and signal leakage that can create outages, noise, and failed verification.
Fewer Change Orders, Smoother Construction
Our data center shielding documents are built for the field—clear details, coordinated drawings, and practical installation guidance. That means fewer surprises, less rework, and tighter schedule control in live or phased environments.
Code-Ready, Test-Ready Deliverables
We produce calculations, drawings, and design packages aligned with project requirements and industry best practices. The result: a cleaner path to review, verification testing, and final turnover.
Faster Turnarounds for New Labs and Retrofits
Whether you’re building new white space or upgrading an active facility, we streamline design, detailing, and coordination to reduce back-and-forth—and get you to operational readiness sooner.
Coordination for MEP, Doors, and Penetrations
Shielding succeeds or fails at the details—HVAC, electrical, conduit, fiber/copper pathways, grounding/bonding, security hardware, and every penetration. We coordinate the interfaces so continuity stays intact and performance holds up during testing and commissioning.
Data Center RF Shielding FAQ
RF shielding is a construction method that reduces unwanted radio-frequency energy entering or leaving a space. In data centers it’s used to limit interference, control signal leakage, and protect sensitive environments.
To prevent interference that can affect wireless systems, monitoring, or specialized equipment; reduce signal leakage; and support spaces where performance or confidentiality requirements are strict.
Common targets include MMRs (Meet-Me Rooms), NOCs (Network Operations Centers), secure network rooms, equipment rooms, test labs, and other critical spaces where RF control is required.
RF interference can create unreliable wireless performance, noisy signals, equipment errors in sensitive systems, failed validation testing, and troubleshooting that burns schedule and budget.
RF shielding focuses on radio-frequency energy (wireless, cellular, two-way radio, etc.). EMI shielding is broader and includes interference from electrical/electronic sources. In practice, most projects treat them together as RF/EMI control.
Yes—by design it can reduce signals inside the shielded space. If you need controlled coverage inside, that’s planned (e.g., dedicated internal access points, DAS design considerations, or measured allowances).
Performance is verified through field testing against defined criteria, typically measuring attenuation across required frequencies at key points (including doors and penetrations). A clear test plan prevents surprises.
As early as possible—ideally at layout and MEP coordination. Early design prevents last-minute penetrations, door changes, and rework that can break continuity and delay commissioning.
Often, yes. Retrofits usually require phased work, careful coordination, and detailed planning around downtime windows, access, and penetrations.
Room location and size, target attenuation or performance goal, frequency range (if known), preliminary layouts, penetration list (HVAC/electrical/data), door requirements, and project schedule constraints.
