Jammers Vs Falsifications
Recently Ukrainians had to choose a president who will lead them to prosperity and yet again some political forces tried to use any possibility to gain more votes, even unauthorized ones . In addition to “standard” methods of falsification that were used during previous elections, 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 method has serious disadvantage, voter may take money and still vote for another candidate. It was absolutely impossible to find out the voter’s choice until now. New technique made possible for a person to gain absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various secret devices. Thus several political parties decided to set small hidden wireless cameras 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 equipped 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 jammers were used to block any cell phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases a single jammer was used. That universal jammer not only blocks all these bands but also is rather compact so there were no problems with discreet usage of it.
As we see, jammers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet territories. The demand for cell phoneblockers is growing not only among common 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?
