Jammers Vs Falsifications

Recently Ukrainians had to choose a person to lead them to prosperity and as always 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 during previous elections, improved methods 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 method has one big disadvantage, there is a possibility that voter will take money and still give his vote to another candidate. It was almost impossible to find out the voter’s choice until now. Today’s equipment made possible for a person to gain full control over the voting process of another person with the help of various secret devices. So some political parties started to set small secret wireless cams 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” decision. Also for these purposes mobile phones that support video calls were used.

Knowing all this, other parties provided their representatives with special cell phone jammers to disrupt 2.4 GHz frequency and thus to prevent competitors from using wireless cameras. Also GSM and 3G blockers were used to jam any mobile phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases a single jammer was used. This universal jammer not only blocks all these bands but also is very compact so there were no problems with discreet usage of it.

As you can see, jammers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet countries. The demand for phonejammers is growing not only among common people but also among various government officials and organizations. In January 2010 blockers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 phonejammers are supposed to be used during school exams. What’s next?
