Jammers Vs Falsifications
Not long ago Ukrainians had to choose a president to lead them to prosperity and yet again some political forces tried to use any chance to gain more votes, even unauthorized ones . In addition to “standard” methods of falsification that were used during previous elections, 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. The thing is that this technique has one big disadvantage, there is a possibility that voter will take money and still vote for another candidate. It was absolutely impossible to find out the voter’s choice until now. New technique allowed a person to get full control over the voting process of another person with the help of various spy gadgets. 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” choice. Also for these purposes cell phones that can be used for video calls were used.
Knowing all this, other parties equipped their representatives with special cell phone jammer to disrupt 2.4 GHz frequency and thus to stop competitors 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 jams all those bands but also is very compact so it was not a problem to use it secretly.
As you see, blockers become more and more popular at the post-Soviet territories. The demand for phonejammers 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 phoneblockers are supposed to be used during exams at schools. What’s next?
