Jammers Vs Falsifications
Not long ago Ukrainians had to choose a president to lead them to the bright future and yet again some political forces did everything possible to win, even if it was against the law. In addition to ”ordinary” methods of falsification that were used in 2004, improved ways of interfering into voting process took place.
Everyone knows that the most widely spread method of falsification at any elections is bribing of voters. The thing is that this technique has one big disadvantage, voter may take money and still give his vote to another candidate. It was almost impossible to spy out the voter’s choice until now. Today’s technique made possible for a person to get absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various secret gadgets. Thus some political parties decided to place small hidden wireless cameras on the bribed voters to get real time video from voting cabin and so got the opportunity to check whether the voter made the “right” choice. Also for these purposes mobile phones that support video calls were used.
Knowing all this, some parties equipped their representatives with special cell phone jammer to block 2.4 GHz waves and thus to prevent competitors from using wireless cameras. Also GSM and 3G jammers were used to block all cell phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases only one jammer was used. This universal jammer not only disrupts all these bands but also is very compact so there were no problems with discreet usage of it.
As you see, jammers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet countries. The demand for cell phonejammers is growing not only among ordinary people but also among different government officials and organizations. In January 2010 jammers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 cell phonejammers are supposed to be used during school exams. What’s next?
