Mobile Protection Box (MPB)
Our range of portable Mobile Protection Boxes provides an effective electronic solution to the problem of having mobile phones in sensitive areas that may be unknowingly transmitting or recording speech.
Specifically designed to provide inexpensive speech protection from threats posed by mobile phones in secure areas or meeting rooms.
Security advisors recognises that we need our mobile phones to keep in touch but that these can also provide a serious security risk.
These boxes house a proprietary protection device that inhibits the microphones within mobile phones without affecting the handsets’ ability to receive phone calls, text messages, emails etc..
In operation it is silent to the user; it has a safe working level without damaging the mobile handsets. They are effective on the latest mobile phones that have quality-in-built microphones.
The range of Mobile Protection Boxes protects private conversations from unwanted eavesdropping through mobile phone handsets.
When placed in the MPB all mobile phone microphones are rendered inoperable while allowing the phone’s ringtone to still be heard if desired so you will never miss a call.

Mobile Protection Box Test Device (MPB-T)
MPB-T are new test devices which are available to provide electronic verification for user-confidence that each MPB is fully functional.
These are used by in-house Red Teams to ensure all deployed devices are working as they should through periodic testing.
Use of these devices in-house will replace the need to return to your supplier, giving a better ROI.
The MPB-T works the same way in both boxes.
The device works by placing the MPB-T in an MPB as shown, displaying one multi-coloured LED for each emitter. Whilst checking each emitter a blue LED will illuminate until signal is detected, which then switches to green upon successful functioning.
Once complete there should be green LEDs giving the user full confidence that their MPB is working as it should.
If one or more blue indicators are consistently shown it could mean the MPB has been damaged or is impaired and needs to be returned to KSL for investigation.

More information about how the MPB-T works is available in our Test Device Overview.
