Jammers Vs Falsifications
Not long ago Ukrainians had to choose a person 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.
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 give his vote to another candidate. It was absolutely impossible to find out the voter’s choice until now. Today’s equipment made possible for a person to gain full control over the voting process of another person with the help of various secret devices. Thus some political forces decided to set small secret wireless cams 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 support video calls were used.
Knowing all this, some parties equipped their representatives with special phone jammers to block 2.4 GHz waves and thus to stop competitors 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 a single jammer was used. This universal jammer not only jams all these frequencies but also is extremely 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 countries. The demand for cell phoneblockers is growing not only among common people but also among different 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?
