Specialty research file // Custom-workshop option

This page documents KTT’s phone-isolation research. Signal-control construction is now treated as an option inside the broader made-to-order pouch workshop and still requires validation on the finished build.

What this page is for

The Faraday Pouch is a specialty signal-management study. RF means radio frequency, and MOLLE means the webbing system used to mount pouches on packs or carriers. Use this file to understand the construction problem, then bring the actual device and mounting requirement into the Custom Pouch Workshop.

What is known now

Observed

The public file defines a device-fit workflow, a shielding-liner target, closure path, carry orientation, and MOLLE-compatible enclosure role.

Limitation

No finished retail sample or measured attenuation result is published. The meters below are simulations, not measurements.

Next test

A completed enclosure must be checked with the exact device, radios, closure state, and repeatable measurement method before any attenuation claim.

Phones can expose cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, and location-related surfaces depending on settings, apps, carrier behavior, and environment. This archived study asks whether a purpose-built enclosure could support deliberate offline storage. No no-signal result is established here.

The KTT Faraday Pouch was explored as a MOLLE-compatible enclosure with an attenuation target. In plain English: it is meant to mount like field gear and physically reduce wireless signals when closed. The design target is a multi-layer shielding liner, quiet access, 500D Cordura exterior, roll-top retention, and a field-friendly structure that can be staged on a kit instead of buried in a bag.

RESEARCH QUESTION

The threat model is simple: radios create opportunities for correlation. Cell, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, and app-level location data can all contribute to a pattern-of-life picture. Software settings help, but they are device-specific and easy to forget. A shielding enclosure is one design approach; its effect depends on the finished construction, closure, device, frequencies, and test conditions.

This file remains public because the construction problem is useful. For a real project, bring the device dimensions, access routine, mounting position, and required validation to the Custom Pouch Workshop.

Visual build brief

What changes inside the pouch?

The proposed shell, liner, and closure work together. The illustration explains their roles; a completed enclosure must still be tested with the actual device.

  • Outer shell protects the field body.
  • Shield liner is the signal-management layer.
  • Closure behavior matters as much as material.
  • The workflow is close first, then move.

Choose the carry requirement

Pocket or bag carry
  • Record the pocket or bag space available.
  • Decide how often the device must be accessed.
  • Specify a closure and finished-build test plan.
KTT Faraday Pouch target
  • MOLLE/PALS-compatible mounting path.
  • 500D Cordura exterior with field-friendly structure.
  • Designed around deliberate close-first signal discipline.

Carry the signal requirement into the workshop.

Run Signal Range, identify the device and access need, then request the right enclosure instead of starting from a fixed bag.
