Wireless Security for High Tech Manufacturing

A semiconductor fab is one of the most controlled spaces on earth, with badges, gowns, and air showers at every entry. Radio waves do not stop at the gowning room, though. A hidden transmitter, a smuggled phone, or a smartwatch can slip past cameras and guards.

Bastille sensors listen passively across IoT, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular, including 4G and 5G. They learn the normal RF profile of every tool and every room, then flag any new signal near critical equipment and show exactly where it is. Devices are classified by their wireless signatures, so a personal Android phone or a rogue wearable stands out from an approved fleet of corporate iPhones.

Zones can be defined down to a single room, each with its own allow list, security rules, and alert thresholds. Everything rolls up to one central console, with real-time alerts delivered into the tools a security team already uses.

Key Takeaways

• Physical controls in a fab do not stop wireless signals from phones, wearables, or hidden transmitters
• Bastille learns the normal RF baseline of each tool and room and flags deviations near critical equipment
• Devices are classified by wireless signature, so unapproved phones stand out from an approved fleet
• Per-room zones with their own allow lists and alert thresholds roll up to one central console

Badges, gowns, air showers, your fab is one of the most controlled spaces on earth. But radio waves don't stop at the gowning room. A hidden transmitter, a smuggled phone, a smartwatch. Cameras and guards can't see all of them. Bastille's sensors listen passively across IoT, Wi Fi, Bluetooth and cellular, including four gs and five gs.

They learn the normal RF profile of every tool and every room. When something new appears near critical equipment, like a rogue transmitter or a signal brought in from outside, Bastille flags the deviation and shows you exactly where it is. Corporate iPhones are allowed. Personal phones are not. Bastille classifies devices by their wireless signatures, so an Android phone or a Rogue wearable stands out from your approved fleet.

Define zones down to a single room. Give each one its own allow list, security rules, and alert thresholds. Everything rolls up to one central management console with real time alerts delivered over your existing network into the tools your security team already uses. Bastille. See every signal in your airspace.
