How It Works: Faraday Style Shielding

Understanding the RF shielding principle behind Motosas and how it helps reduce relay attack risk when used correctly.

Relay attacks use electronic devices to capture and boost the signal from a keyless fob, even through walls. The relayed signal can trick the car into “thinking” the key is nearby, allowing thieves to unlock and start the vehicle in seconds.

The Motosas Approach

Motosas pouches use layered RF shielding materials to help reduce or block the signal from keyless fobs when they are stored in the protected inner pocket. This makes relay attacks significantly harder to carry out.

Step 1

Key Inside the Inner Pocket

Keyless fobs emit low power radio frequency signals. When the fob is placed in the Motosas inner pocket, it is surrounded by conductive layers that help contain those signals.

Step 2

RF Signal Reduction

The layered construction is designed to reduce or block RF energy across key frequency bands commonly used by modern keyless systems, making it harder for relay equipment to detect and amplify the signal.

Why This Method Works

RF shielding is a well-established technique. We apply it specifically to the way drivers store their keys, with a focus on usability and consistency.

Instant When Used

No pairing, charging or configuration. Once the key is in the inner pocket and the pouch is closed, the shielding is in place.

Simple to Explain

If the key is in the pouch, it is shielded. This simplicity makes it easier for frontline staff to explain and for drivers to adopt as a habit.

No Power Source

No batteries or apps to maintain. The shielding comes from the physical construction of the pouch itself.
