Jammers Vs Falsifications
Lately Ukrainians had to choose a person who will lead them to prosperity and yet again some candidates did everything possible to win, even if it was illegal. In addition to ”ordinary” ways 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 serious disadvantage, voter may take money and still give his vote to another candidate. It was absolutely impossible to spy out the voter’s choice until now. Today’s technique allowed a person to gain full control over the voting process of another person with the help of various secret gadgets. Thus some political forces started to set small secret wireless cams on the bribed voters to get real time video from voting cabin and so got the chance to check whether the voter made the “right” choice. Also for these purposes mobile phones that can be used for video calls were used.
Knowing all this, other parties provided their representatives with special cell phone jammers to jam 2.4 GHz frequency and thus to stop opponents from using wireless cameras. Also GSM and 3G blockers were used to jam any cell phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases only one jammer was used. That universal jammer not only jams all these frequencies but also is rather 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 winter 2010 jammers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 phonejammers are supposed to be used during school exams. What’s next?
