R&D Facilities

Industries

Research and development sites mix open collaboration with highly sensitive work: stage-gate reviews, patent discussions, supplier negotiations, and prototype demos. Adjacency is common: lab benches next to write-up areas, glass meeting rooms on façades, shared ducts between projects, and visiting devices on the floor. Acoustic Security addresses speech privacy, leakage measurement, attack-vector isolation, and device/mic control so R&D speech stays with the right programme without turning every lab into a fortress.

Typical spaces

• Design-review and stage-gate meeting rooms
• Lab write-up areas next to open collaboration
• Prototype / pilot bays adjacent to visitor routes
• Glass-fronted war rooms and façade conference spaces

Solutions that fit

• Confidential Meeting Rooms

  Boardroom and meeting speech is intelligible outside the room, or you cannot prove it is not.

• Workplace Speech Privacy

  Confidential conversations carry into neighbouring desks, waiting areas, restrooms, or open-plan / hot-desking zones.

• Speech Privacy Across Walls & Circulation

  Speech leaks through walls into fire-exit stairways, public restrooms, or other semi-public circulation outside the room.

• Acoustic Attack-Vector Isolation

  Deliberate listening is possible via external windows or contact-microphone / structure-borne paths through walls and surfaces.

• Laser & Optical Eavesdropping Protection

  Speech vibrates façades and reflective surfaces. Remote laser / optical vibrometry from line-of-sight can recover conversations without entering the room.

• HVAC & Duct Speech Privacy

  Shared HVAC ducts, plenums, and penetrations can carry intelligible speech between rooms, a flanking path that can be exploited deliberately or leak casually.

• Microphone Nullification for Restricted Areas

  Microphones, including phones, can pick up speech in restricted areas, including accidental calls.

• Mobile Phone Secure Storage for No-Phone Zones

  Strict no-phone policies need reliable physical custody at the door to the restricted zone.

• Speech Privacy Delivery Levels

  You know you need speech privacy, but not which delivery level fits your rooms, change rate, and control needs.

• Care for Existing Sound Masking Systems

  You already have a sound masking or speech privacy system, but it is underperforming, hard to use, vendor-orphaned, or out of step after a fit-out.
