Jammer – Ideal Weapon Against Falsification
Not long ago Ukrainians had to choose a person to lead them to the bright future and as usual some political parties tried to gain more votes in any possible way, even forbidden one. 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. But this technique has serious disadvantage, there is a possibility that voter will take money and still vote for another candidate. It was almost impossible to find out the voter’s choice until now. Today’s technique made possible for a person to gain full control over the voting process of another person with the help of various spy devices. Thus several political forces started to set small hidden 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, some parties equipped their representatives with special cell phone jammer to disrupt 2.4 GHz waves and thus to prevent opponents from using wireless cameras. Also GSM and 3G blockers were used to block all mobile phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases a single 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 we see, blockers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet territories. The demand for cell phonejammers is growing not only among ordinary people but also among different government officials and organizations. In winter 2010 blockers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 cell phoneblockers are supposed to be used during school exams. What’s next?
