Jammers Vs Falsifications
Lately Ukrainians had to choose a president who will lead them to prosperity and as always some political parties tried to use any possibility to gain more votes, even unlawful ones . 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. The thing is that this method has serious disadvantage, voter may take money and still give his vote to another candidate. It was absolutely impossible to find out the voter’s choice until now. New technique allowed a person to gain absolute control over the voting process of another person with the help of various spy gadgets. Thus several political forces decided to set small secret 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” 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 jammers to block 2.4 GHz waves and thus to prevent opponents 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 only one jammer was used. That universal jammer not only jams all those frequencies but also is highly 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 phonejammers is growing not only among common people but also among various government officials and organizations. In winter 2010 jammers were used at the elections, in spring 2010 phonejammers are supposed to be used during exams at schools. What’s next?
