Market Leading Defender Signal Blocker Celebrates 8 Years of Quality Protection

Since its launch in 2017, this innovative product has become a clear market favourite, with Solon reporting over 1 million units sold across the UK and beyond, earning the trust of serving police officers, security professionals and end users for its reliable performance and dual-purpose design.

As one of the few such products to have achieved Secured by Design’s Police Preferred Specification, it has been rigorously tested in ‘faraday cage’ laboratory conditions by a professor of electromagnetics, delivering independently verified signal-blocking capabilities that meet the highest standards and consistency for crime prevention and protection.

With its premium RPF™ material and reinforced construction, the Defender Signal Blocker effectively shields against RFID, Wi-Fi, 3G/4G/5G, GPS, NFC, and EMF signals, preventing relay attacks on car key fobs while also reducing mobile distractions for safer driving.

Available in two sizes, large and mini, to suit every need from mobile phones, spare keys and individual fobs, the Defender Signal Blocker has taken home a slew of awards for performance and durability across its journey so far.

Solon Security General Manager, David Simpson, said: “The Defender Signal Blocker is one of the true modern success stories for our company. What began as a targeted solution to help with distracted driving initiatives has become dual-purposed into one of the most highly rated solutions for keyless car theft and anti-tracking assistance.

“As with any successful item, many manufacturers followed our early lead and we are proud to be an original innovator in this space, with the independent quality assurances that SBD accreditation and independent awards bring ensuring customers can buy this product with confidence for many more years to come.”

Hazel Goss, Secured by Design, commented: “I cannot believe this great product has reached 8 years old - it seems like only yesterday that it first came onboard with Secured by Design! Vehicle crime is still an issue nationwide, but using ‘Police Preferred’ products, such as the Defender Signal Blocker which helps prevent the theft of keyless cars, is an effective way to reduce your risk of becoming a victim.”
