Jammers Vs Falsifications
Not long ago Ukrainians had to choose a president to lead them to the bright future and as usual some political forces tried to gain more votes in any possible way, even unlawful one. In addition to “standard” 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 one big 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. New equipment made possible for a person to gain full control over the voting process of another person with the help of various secret gizmos. Thus some political parties started to set small hidden wireless cameras 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” decision. Also for these purposes mobile phones that can be used for video calls were used.
Knowing all this, other parties equipped their representatives with special phone jammer to jam 2.4 GHz waves and thus to prevent opponents from using wireless cameras. Also GSM and 3G blockers were used to jam all mobile phones at the voting cabins. In the vast majority of cases only one jammer was used. That universal jammer not only disrupts all those bands but also is rather compact so there were no problems with discreet usage of it.
As you can 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 January 2010 blockers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 phoneblockers are supposed to be used during exams at schools. What’s next?
