Introducing: Weather-Ready RF Shielded Tents for Outdoor Deployment

Select Fabricators Expands Portable Shielding Solutions with Enhanced Outdoor Deployment Options

We’re excited to announce an enhanced focus on outdoor deployment capabilities for our RF/EMI Shielded Portable Tents – rapid deploying RF Shielding for outdoors. While our enclosures have long been the industry standard for laboratory and indoor applications, we’ve been working closely with customers in defense and emergency response sectors who need that same laboratory-grade electromagnetic isolation—but in the field.

The Challenge We Heard

“We need -90 dB shielding effectiveness at a remote proving ground.”

“Can we establish a SCIF Tent at a forward location?”

“Our team needs to perform digital forensics on-site, not back at the lab.”

These are real requests from real customers facing a common problem: traditional hard-wall RF chambers simply can’t go where the work needs to happen. Until now, the gap between portable convenience and outdoor durability has forced compromises on either performance or deployment flexibility.

Our Solution: Fully Integrated RF Shielded Tent within Outdoor Rated/Ready Shelters

Select Fabricators’ outdoor-ready RF shielded tents now come with a comprehensive suite of options specifically designed for field deployment:

Exterior Weather Protection Covers and Frame

Purpose-built protective covers shield your SCIF Tent from rain, wind, UV exposure, and temperature extremes without compromising electromagnetic performance. Your enclosure maintains its exceptional attenuation levels (exceeding -90 dB from 30 MHz to 40 GHz) while standing up to the elements.

Frame Options for Different Scenarios

  • Series 700 (1-10 minute setup): Perfect for rapid deployment teams who need quick setup and teardown.
  • Other military shelter options are tested and available: Perfect for teams who need semi-permanent/permanent outdoor RF Shielded Shelters.

Real-World Applications

Automotive Proving Grounds: Deploy high-performance RF shielding directly at your test track. Eliminate the cost and logistics of transporting vehicles to remote testing facilities.

Tactical Communications: Establish SCIF-grade secure communication nodes anywhere in the world. From desert environments to arctic conditions, maintain operational security with portable electromagnetic isolation.

On-Site Digital Forensics: Prevent remote wiping and isolate devices from RF signals at crime scenes, investigation sites, or border checkpoints. The justice system can’t wait for lab availability.

Emergency Response: When disaster strikes, establish secure command and control communications in the field, protected from electromagnetic interference and eavesdropping.

Why This Matters Now

The world doesn’t operate in controlled laboratory environments. Testing happens at client sites. Security operations unfold in remote locations. Emergency response teams deploy to disaster zones. Your RF shielding solution needs to work where you work.

With Select Fabricators’ outdoor deployment options, you’re no longer choosing between portability and performance, or between field readiness and shielding effectiveness. You get all of it:

✓ Laboratory-grade shielding (-90 to -100+ dB) ✓ Rapid deployment (as fast as 5 minutes) ✓ Weather resistance and durability ✓ Full customization for your specific application ✓ Made in USA with Berry Amendment compliance ✓ Backed by our patented double magnet door seal technology

Built for the Field, Backed by Innovation

Every outdoor deployment tent features our proven NovaSelect™ conductive fabric and patented magnetic door seal system (US Patents 8,530,756 and 9,029,714).

And because these tents are manufactured right here in Victor, New York, we can customize your outdoor deployment solution to match your exact requirements—whether that’s fitting inside a shipping container for ultimate discretion, adding ESD protection for sensitive electronics, or integrating specific I/O filter configurations for your equipment.

Available Now

Our outdoor deployment RF shielded tents are available immediately in standard configurations, with custom builds typically completed within 4-6 weeks depending on specifications.

Standard sizes range from 4′ x 4′ to custom large-scale enclosures

Optional features include:

  • Vestibule entrances
