Frequently asked questions
Does everyone keep their phone?
Yes. The phone never changes hands: each person puts it inside their pouch and the pouch stays with them.
How do you open Focalia?
The pouch is designed to open when it is brought to the magnetic unlocking device kept by the organiser, usually at the exit. It needs no apps or codes.
Where can it be used?
Focalia is designed for schools, universities, theatres, concert and comedy venues, weddings and corporate events: anywhere people are meant to be present.
What happens in an emergency?
The protocol is agreed with each school or venue before starting, including the available unlocking points and the usual communication channels.
Does it block the signal completely?
We do not guarantee that. The pouch is designed to reduce or attenuate wireless communications while it remains properly closed. Results may vary depending on the device, frequency, network and surroundings; we will publish measurements once verified.
Does it fit any phone?
It is designed for most current phones. We will publish exact compatibility together with the verified specifications.
Can you put our logo on the pouches?
We are looking into customising the pouches with each school's or organisation's logo. Write to us and we will tell you where it stands.
Can we try it first?
Yes, we are keen to run pilots with small groups. Write to us and we will look at how it could work at your school.
Can I buy through the website?
No. This website is for information only: we do not sell or enter into contracts through it. If you are interested in Focalia, write to us and we will explain the options.
