President elections are protected With Jammers
Lately Ukrainians had to choose a person to lead them to prosperity and as usual some political parties tried to gain more votes in any possible way, even unauthorized one. In addition to ”ordinary” methods of falsification that were used in 2004, improved methods of interfering into voting process took place.
It is well-known fact 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 spy out the voter’s choice until now. New equipment made possible for a person to gain absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various spy devices. Thus some political forces started to set small hidden wireless cams on the bribed voters to receive 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 phone jammer to block 2.4 GHz waves and thus to stop opponents from using wireless cameras. Also GSM and 3G blockers were used to disable all mobile phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases a single jammer was used. This universal jammer not only blocks all those frequencies but also is extremely compact so there were no problems with discreet usage of it.
As you can see, blockers 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 cell phonejammers are supposed to be used during exams at schools. What’s next?
