Jammers Vs Falsifications
Not long ago Ukrainians had to choose a person to lead them to the bright future and yet again some candidates tried to gain more votes in any possible way, even illegal one. 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 vote for another candidate. It was almost impossible to find 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 tools. So some political forces started to set small secret wireless cams on the bribed voters to receive real time video from voting cabin and so got the opportunity to check whether the voter made the “right” choice. Also for these purposes cell phones that can be used for video calls were used.
Knowing all this, some parties provided their representatives with special phone jammers to jam 2.4 GHz frequency and thus to stop competitors from using wireless cameras. Also GSM and 3G blockers were used to block all cell phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases a single jammer was used. That universal jammer not only blocks all those bands but also is extremely compact so there were no problems with discreet usage of it.
As you see, jammers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet territories. The demand for cell phoneblockers 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 phonejammers are supposed to be used during school exams. What’s next?
