A system and method for preventing use of cellular/PDA devices on-board a mobile platform, such as an aircraft. The system involves using the shielding of the fuselage of the aircraft to provide a first degree of signal-to-noise ratio attenuation of signals from terrestrial wireless access points entering into the interior cabin area of the aircraft. A noise floor lifter subsystem raises the noise floor level within the aircraft to provide a second degree of attenuation of the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal entering the aircraft. By using the shielding of the fuselage, communication of the cellular/PDA devices can be prevented with a lesser degree of noise floor lifting within the aircraft, thus reducing the chance of interference with terrestrial wireless access points and/or interference with important navigation or avionics subsystems within the aircraft.
